Nice group. I always enjoy hunting more in a group or at least sharing a base camp with a group. Unfortunately I have been too busy this year to even renew my license.
I use a Remington 700 VTR .308 for Whitetail, as well as a Ruger BlackHawk .44 mag for finishing shots. I also hunt dove turkey and waterfowl with a Remington 870 Nitro 12 gauge.
Sadly I haven't even been to the range this year. I hope I am ready when the hunting seasons roll back around.
How was the weather for you while hunting, Enchilada?
ohey guys, ive never held a gun in my life and hate nature. im glad you kill it though, props, we're totally friends now

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do.

LOL wouldn't that be like hunting a rabbit with a tank?
Depends on your ammo. Shotguns are nice n versatile, so you can choose specific pellet size for your game. I use small pellets for dove, steel BB for waterfowl, and big BB for Turkey. Never have to change guns, just ammo. Also most shotguns nowadays have exchangeable chokes/choketubes. These effect how wide your spread is when it leaves the gun. I imagine one would use a wider spread for pheasant, so the meat would not catch as many pellets.
I wouldn't mind seeing how much power a 10 gauge has. Might be good for geese cuz most of the time they're flying too high when some bozo fires early and scares em off before they get within proper range of a 12 gauge.
