Tomorrow

Doesn't anybody pick a damn dove anymore?

Old school.

Any chance you still have that PM that you could forward? My sbe3 shoots ridiculously high. I completely forgot about it and decided to use it opening day since I haven't had a chance to duck hunt in a while and wanted to get the dust off of it. I totally forgot about how bad it shoots and was miserable with it in the beginning. I switched back to an old A5 and didn't miss a shot the rest of the day. I remember hearing something about the barrel nut years ago, but I have forgotten about it and definitely need to do something or the gun is going to have a new owner soon.

I don’t but with a little digging you might can find the thread. He had pics and everything there. Basically you have to heat the nut up to break it free and screw it as far down as possible. I was skeptical but he assured me it would help and it was night and day different. My gun probably shot a 80/20 pattern at 30 yds before and went a lot closer to 50/50 maybe 60/40 after that one fix.

Our numbers are low. We're not shooting this weekend.

Same here. Checked multiple fields and not enough birds to call a hunt.

I still whole pick most of mine. Once you get a rhythm down it's pretty easy, doesn't beat paying Ida a quarter each

When I get to shoot YES

Scroll to 10:40.



I see how this could work. I will give it a whirl after I get my drop shims & plate (and other replacement stock parts).

I skipped the part about heating up the barrel nut and just bought Berettas

[Black Bart]

Anybody shoot this past weekend? How'd it go?

[Model12]

Had birds before the storm..........Now none.....Wheat on the ground.......Nothing.

Jumped some ducks in ours, looks like maybe it's going to be a late late season field

[smitch320]

Ralph is y’all’s house and equipment alright?

[Highstrung]

Yeah, it's nasty, just material things.. that old Case under the shed wouldn't crank the Thursday before the store when we were moving plus a flat tire..

[trkykilr]

Goodness, Ralph. I figured it was bad when I crossed the river on 20 Sunday. I hate that for y’all.

[JABIII]

Lots of work down the drain. Hate it, too. I will take 3 sunflower fed summer ducks though. I will pick them...

Hate to hear that.

[Highstrung]

It's pretty wild Boozer, thanks sm20.. JAB, oldblackdog and I took his jon down there Monday, it had lowered some when I took those pics. That river was just f'n eerie... there was just this solid roar. Dead deer floating, just mayhem. They actually didn't include us on the closed deer season map, but we won't be hunting. Looking at what's happened across the south east over this storm, I really could not complain

[JABIII]

Amen Ralph. Counting those blessings as much damage as we are facing...

[Model12]

I had birds 2 days before the storm...........I have wheat out.......Not a single bird in my field at 330 pm.......Checked 2 other fields several miles away.....They were empty........Either the storm killed them or they got the hell out of Dodge before it hit...........Didn't seem to effect the deer......Storm did A LOT of damage here and up the west side of SC.

[Black Bart]

How's everybody looking for Saturday?

[Palmetto Bug]

Corn and wheat on the freshly disced and smoothed ground and zero doves at the farm in Dorchester. There are 25 or so regularly lined up and taunting me on the powerline outside my house on the coast though.
