duck hunting exstends my season, and i hunt till the end of the season with my shorthair, he does exstemely well in cold fast water, he will play in it even when not hunting, i now have a nice chessie that will take over late season duck duty from him as hes almost 5 now and slowing down a bit...

i think the ecoboost would work well in the 6-7K range pulling, several people i know have tried to do more than that and ended up trading for the super duty, i have put 40K hard miles on a 012 6.7 and i will tell you this, if you tow 11k on a long trip with an ecoboost, you are braver than me...

18 months in North Dakota, dawn till dark 7 days a week, not going back to work till spring, just time with family and lots of hunting.:)

I shhot kent fast lead exclusivly, i really like the #6 when i do my part i have very few criples, i will shoot the fast steel next year exclusivly as well

I started my son on a 870 youth with ajustable LOP, no problems whatsoever, a friends son blew a hole in my winger blind with a POS rossie single shot with a hammer, almost got my mojo as well, those type of guns are crap, dont waste your money, i wont even let one near me.

I think 400-800 for a pup is good, pedegree is worth more to most, my 200.00 shorthair is a great hunter, there are better dogs out there but he does everything i need and then some, thanks to this site and the good people on it, i now have a Chessie pup and am starting all over again:cheers:

I have used the winchester blind side when i am hunting both phez and waterfowl at the same time, #2 3 in seems to work well and has 1 3/8 ounce cube shot, 1400 fps so recoil isnt a big deal and i have smoked ducks at 40+ yards when i do my part.

LOL, let me know when you want to shed the ugly gun.

Wow, thats a mean looking hog, if we want to shoot one here it costs 400.00 and up.

I have a set of rocky pro hunters with 400g in them, i wore them a bit big game hunting and also alot of upland as well, they havent leaked yet but the stiching is starting to come loose in a few places and i had to have the toe caps glued back in place. I think the lynx replaced these now and...

I have been using a benelli M2 20g. for most phez, when i can shoot both ducks and phez i use my Super Vinci, wich i an still learning to shoot but i did get alot of ducks with it this year (missed alot as well)

Kent fast lead 1 3/8 #6 at about 1400 ( cant remember) not too costly and seems to work well for me, was shooting alot of Prairie Storm but its hard on birds in a 12g, but works great in a 20.

I have looked at these quite a bit, they are tough but for fast icy rivers i think the chesie would work better, besides my GSP would never forgive me. LOL

I dont need a robot, my GSP isnt, between the great advice i got here and his natural ability he is a very good wild bird hunter and i trust him to make the right decisions in the field and it works great. I think i will persue the Chesie. Thanks to all as usual. EEK

I am an upland hunter first and have my GSP for that, my 10 year old son loves the waterfowl as there is alot more action so i have put tons of money into waterfowl stuff this year and we have had a great time. I hunt with a friend that has a little lab from a great breeder that is a fantastic...
