https://www.usafoxx.com/ I haven't used them but I have buddies that have been happy with this place.

Thanks everyone! I use to load my own 12ga for predators and patterned everything. We shot some dove loads before dove season but I had no idea he was going to enjoy jumping ponds this much. I have never patterned steel but I'm going to learn now. I picked up #2s, #1s, and #6 today. We will spend some time getting him set up. Those mergansars weren't great but trying to keep an 11yo from shooting a legal duck is hard. The mallards and geese were much better.

We get enough geese to keep us out looking for them. Today we saw about 50 or so with snow. Hopefully they stick around

The boy and I got out in the woods over Christmas break chasing ducks and geese. As usual I didn't take enough pictures but I did snap a few. Anyone have suggestions for 20ga duck loads? Right now he is shooting 3in #4 Faststeel loads and they aren't working as well as I would like. My son is a pretty good shot and doesn't burn through ammo on sketchy shots so I don't mind spending a little extra on some better ammo. Last weekend he knocked the same duck down 2 times and he still got up and flew off. We watched him go down about 150yds into the trees but never found him.

Aluma hyde has worked well for me but I let it cure for a couple of days before I do anything with it.

Its already starting to happen in other states.

I think going rate is about $150 from what I have seen.

Got to help my nephew on his 33 youth hunt. These hunts are the best!

Anything over about 30 in/lbs will start smushing plastic is what I have found. Savage had some really soft stocks for a while.

My boy has been making us some great dinners out of his deer.

Any of the ag area on the southwest side of 31 is good.

They are still going in 8

Buddy got a hit for turkey

That's an awesome hunting setup
