What’s up fellas…good to catch up and read some updates from the regulars. Life is as busy as ever but fall is closing in. Starting to pencil in some fall trips, check ammo supply, order decoys I don’t need, you know the usual. Hope everyone is doing well, as always if you get down my direction (Southeast MN) hit me up.

Got out to the horse and hunt club this past weekend, Man did it feel good to get back behind the gun! Finishing up some house projects, A couple vacations and trips. Hopefully that will keep me busy till the season starts. Got all my waterfowl purchases done earlier this year so should be set. I am trying to focus some more on deer this year as well.

Oh crap... ammo. I should probably find some of that for this year

I went to shoot clays and the spring on the release on my thrower is bad.


Found that out when I went to cock it and it spun all the way around and smacked my wrist....luckily after 2 days it quit hurting.

So I missed all 1 of the clays I tried before the thrower didn’t secure twice while the wife was cocking it.

Should be ready for real!

I dunno. I’m not convinced you all shoot ducks down there! Think in two trips I’ve seen 3-4 birds killed


So basically yeah if I have to visit in-laws I’ll probably give you a call!!

It would appear so. I have about 2 boxes left I think

 

[ILikeDuckies]

Looks like theres plenty of shells to go around this year but they are not giving it away. I think the best i have seen for the “cheap stuff” is 20$ a box

Fleet Farm earlier I was able to get a case of Bluebox for under 200

Haha fair….we do kill a few but the good shoots are very weather dependent. The older I get the less I hunt locally and try and focus my money and time on traveling to where the birds actually are. There is a plethora of geese locally this year but I’m sure a majority of them will bug out about September 1st………

I’ve been looking for 18 months for ammo at a reasonable price … finally found a case of blue box and a case of browning wicked blend for 200$ so decided to buy a case of the wicked wing to see how I like it

No kiddin' on ouch. I think I've had a box for a decade or better and I can't bring myself to put them in a shell box even if I'm out of Kent's in that shot size.

 

[razorrt5]

Yea I wasn’t gonna pay 7$ a box a few years ago for that stuff lol and I still wouldn’t

People are out of their minds

I didn't want to pay that for black cloud, I'm not paying that for welding slag

Well my fall plans are set now, was waiting on the Montana antelope draw results and failed…. So a Montana solo backcountry archery elk/deer hunt in September and a base camp rifle elk/deer hunt in November with family will be my big trips this year…. Some waterfowl hunting around the house is all I’ll have availability for this season as somehow I was bamboozled into a 2 week vacation in Orlando in October

I kind of like the high prices on shells. After looking back on last year i am not sure it hurt the hunter numbers to much but is sure did limit the sky blasting. If you could find shells they seemed to be the 30-50$ a box year and other hunters didnt seem to pull the trigger as much at 1-2$ a shot. From what i saw they took quality over quantity of shots

 

[razorrt5]

Found this at the local Walmart today… beat priced shells I’ve seen since Covid started

For anyone going out for Teal season that Teal Steel Kent stuff is awesome. We were 9 out of our first 9 last year teal opener with the stuff. The upland steel in 2.75 isn't bad either.
Hope to mix in some dove when I go out for teal.

I picked up a case of the fast steel and rio for this year, hard to find anything under $20/box. I love the welding slag Xperts, but when they were $11/box 2 years ago it's hard to spend $20/box now.
