Snapt - Is that an Uggie?

I have a nice 16Ga Ugartechia that looks just like that....love it!!! (although yours has niiiiice wood)

Good eye! Sure is. Love it. Wish I could find a reasonably priced sub gauge Uggie.

ZZZ hunt that 37! All my buddies have that exact gun in 16 and love the way they carry and shoot for just about everything.

Good day goose hunting a couple weeks ago with my oldest boy.

^^Great pic man.

[Patarero]

I have a300 outlander that runs pretty good if you keep it clean, duck gun. My al urika2 is the smoother operator though.

Already some shotgun talk, so I'd rather ask here than the guns thread. The only shotgun I have is an old Ithaca 16 gauge pump model 37 featherweight. It's kind of an heirloom to me and I'd rather not beat it up out in the field. What is the choice for an all-around semi auto for less than $1000? Looks like I'm in the Berreta A300/Franchi Affinity 3/Winchester SX4 range? Any strong recommendations?

Way cool to have an Ithaca in 16g. I love mine in 12g. What a wonderful design and gun.

I own a two Browning Silvers (sisters to the X2 and X3) Browning Maxus, and a Browning New A5. I like all three. It really is all about the fit and the budget.

If Browning would throw in some shims and add the speed load to the Silver it would be my perfect waterfowl gun.

When shooting waterfowl loads, I prefer my gas guns to my one inertia. I am happy to clean them a little more for the slightly more smoothness of recoil.

I probably will for the more gentlemanly pursuits, like upland hunting , but i also want a shotgun that's a bit more of a workhorse that I don't cringe at dings and mud. Plus, n+1 right?

Can any Montana hunting mags tell me if hunting season remains open there?

I’ve been trying for 3 weeks to get a call back about a pack out from a float trip from a couple of outfitters up there but crickets. At the start, I thought they were probably just busy with hunting season but as the non responsiveness continues I am wondering

General seasons are done. Some late season tags are still going. Not a ton but enough to keep outfitters pretty busy. Most I knew stayed pretty busy until end of December and the ones who weren’t were dealing with animal and gear care as well as some time for themselves and wouldn’t answer a phone for nothing. Remember, they have been going non stop since August. Most are enjoying family time now esp. with xmas coming up.

Went to a buddy's ranch on Saturday/Sunday. Shot 50 quail and 5 cocks. Dogs got run ragged and sustained a few minor barbed wire injuries but it was pretty fun.

Made Dave's Red Hot quail legs that evening. Delicious.

[Patarero]

The mid-atlantic cast and blast!

Damn 50, sounds fun!

Sorry girl.
Not like some of the monsters posted up here already, but I'm very grateful.

Struck out in my elk season.

I've taken to just shooting doe for the last few years. Let a nice meaty 7 pointer go by this year. A seventeen year old girl on her first hunt with her dad who has permission to hunt our property nabbed it later. Pay it forward bitches.


Best part was my 10 yo girl hearing me tell the buck story later and asking to come along to watch next year.

Here is my 2020 redneck for a day, meat harvest.

I'd be perfectly happy punching WT doe tags for the rest of my days.

No thanks or even acknowledgement of the fine fine work our friends at the NRA DU and the RMEF have done on foreign soil to make this hunt even possible...

Tomorrow we take the rifles for another long cold walk. Thank god for shoulder season.....just wish I had access to more private where all them damn forest horses like to hang out this time of year.

Got a call back and connected last night. Maybe the guide is a mag and read my “complaint”.

Or the guide just got a feed bill for those hungry mules and horses.

I think speedgoats are escapees from prehistoric game farms. Like future generations will wonder over the Australian camel, and how something that weird-looking could swim all the way from Africa...

That thing's freakin hudge, dude.

Glad my deposit is going to a good cause.

Feet down in the deeks is the best. Got out by 130, motoring back to the ramp at 415.

Awesome. Been whacking them up here. Rolled up to a local river launch only to be fogged out. Normally we would roll up and hunt other areas by gps and no lights but this area we need good vis, with the lights you couldn’t see shit in the fog. The current is strong, gauge is 54, we normally hunt it 49-53 with several S curves that have the banks lined with metal and wood for riparian work. We decided to take the safe route and bag it.

[Patarero]

Nice goat!

Quick river hunt this morning.Widgeon and gadwall. Setup by 10, back to the ramp at 12.
