4.5” is about the equivlent to ole @Jim14510 peen size full mast

I'll take that.

 

[God is a Husker]

So I'm officially becoming a fancy boy and want to buy a double barrel shotgun.

75%+ of use will be for hunting upland & 25% of use will be for random small game. (I have a Mossberg 590 I take waterfowl hunting/binge drinking in a blind)

Give me some recommendations boys.

1) I prefer an O/U to side by side.

2) I'd prefer a 20 gauge but I'll listen to argument for a 12. (Don't even try to sell me on a 16 or 28)

3) absolute max price of $2,500 (the lower the better cuz I plan on telling my wife until after the fact)


I have a Mossberg 500 in .410 and a Mossberg 590 12g and a single shot bolt action old as fuck .410 Mossberg I inherited from my Dad. I'm most certainly NOT a shotgun guy and have no idea what brands are good/bad or what to look out for.

Help me become a classy upland hunting douche bag Lawyer

Over under Beretta, I believe the 686 Silver Pigeon comes in either a 12 or 20 gauge.

Heading out this Friday to go Elk and deer hunting with my dad in the Pine Ridge area of Nebraska. He drew a cow tag this year and I have 2 buck and 2 doe tags for the area. He's been going up there hunting for 40+ years now.

He went out a few weeks ago and didn't see any cows, but several bulls, one really nice. 12 bucks all within 100 yards. 5 he said he would have wall mounted and well over 100 does.

Elk heard moved back into the homeplace this last weekend, so we should be coming home with a lot of meat.

Pretty decent fire there in late Sept that burned within 100 yards of the homeplace where we stay. We hunt to the south and southwest of this area. Suprisingly, Google has updated their satelite images since and shows the burned area and how close it came. Red line is the reatardant they put down leading to the homeplace. Same area had a huge fire in 2012 and was finally showing new tree growth and recovery.

Any KC area archery hunters that want to talk some shop with me? Have a KS tag for 12 and 14 again this year, going the first weekend in Nov and hopefully more than that. If you have any MO areas, I'm all ears.

That would definitely put him in "fancy boy" status. Great firearm, though. A Browning Citori would also cement his "fancy boy" status, and based on model and sale prices would keep him within budget.

A lower priced option (get a 12 and a 20!) would be a CZ (various models) or if @God is a Husker wants to keep his Chevy pickup friends and stay within the Mossberg family, they have several modestly priced O/U shotguns as well. Slightly upscale from those guys is the Franchi brand, which is the mid-point lineup from Benelli (Stoeger, Franchi, Benelli are like Chevy, Buick, Cadillac in the General Motors maturity continuum).

I have an over under beretta 12 gauge that I got back in the early 90s and maybe has only 2 boxes of shells shot through it. Mostly got it for shooting clays after having fun learning how to do it at a resort down in Mesquite NV. Might sell it since I’m it sure if I can shoot a rifle or shotgun again due to my medical device.

What do you want for it? Pm me if interested

Anyone ever have luck down on public around Tecumseh? Thinking about checking it out towards the end of the week and next week before the gun guys get going.

Will be my first time doing public land.

First sit of the season tonight: 5 doe, 5 or 6 fawns and one fork horn.

Nice. My son and I were out yesterday morning, and saw more deer driving to the public land than we did while sitting in our respective blinds (he's young and in a tree stand, I'm in a ground blind). I've dialed in on one buck and we did get a chance to watch him for a while and confirmed an earlier point in his "daily path". You'll never guess where I moved my ground blind to!

Tried out a public spot here in MO last night on Smithville lake. Low expectations. Ended up seeing several doe, fawn, a spike, and then before dark saw a buck chasing a doe hard, grunting and snorting while doing it. Couldn’t see well by then, but assuming it was a mature buck. Good times on a 67° evening.

KS next week 🙏 #blest

Saved the pup, but that stogie might need a re-light!
