MH- Would you not have to agree, then, that a shotgun and a rifle are tools used to pursue game. Rifles for long range shooting and shotguns for close range, especially for birds. Rifled barrels, on shot gun for deer hunting with slugs. Most guys are hunting birds with a 12g not 10's. So the true effective range, for the best kill, would be 40yrds or less with steel shot. Do you agree or disagree with that statement? My whole point is, use the proper tool for the "job" and not over stress the tool to get the best preformance out of it.
i am not using this for duck hunting. when i duck hunt yes i work the birds right into the decoys before i shoot. i am specifically talking about snow geese. i dont have all the fancy stuff for snow goose hunting to try and decoy the birds. i just want to jump shoot them. thus why i wanted to find the choke that patterns the best at a longer distance.
I would agree. $50 a box and shoot coyotes with it and it pays for itself quickly. Waterfowling is not a poor mans game. Lots of people talk about the price of shells being to high yet i always here peoplr speak about heavily modded mud motors. Ffd decoys and some high prices autoloader. Lots of people cheap out in shells though and will only buy cheap stuff. Shoot what patterns the best.
"No one with a 10 rd extension is ripping off all 10 while they are back peddling over decoys."
"Dead coyote t shot and the proper choke is an easy 80 yd gun."
Dead Coyote T-shot, $50/box (10 shells). Mag extensions up to 10 rounds. Ripping through $50 of shells on a flock of snows? Too rich for my blood!
