Thanks Uncle Buck. That is really the primary reason I want to go, the amazing site / spectacle of the migrations. It seems like something that you would read about happening 150 - 200 years ago, before market hunting depleted the populations. I hope to see it next year and get my 8 year old...

Thanks for all the info everyone. I spoke to a few guides recommended here, and Nick is getting me another. I think I will have to plan this for next year, the window is too tight to find a date that works for all our guys and one the guides have open. However that just gives me time to put...

Thanks guys, very helpful information, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Nick that would be great, even if they are booked this year it would be nice to have a few names for next year. Mike

Hey guys, Not sure if this is best place to post this, it is obviously not Pheasant related. My brother and I are thinking about taking a trip out the SD/ND for a Spring Snow Goose Hunt. Neither of us have hunted them in the past so we feel a guided trip would be the way to go. Does anyone...

Are there any differences between the standard 16 and the sweet 16, other than weight? The Sweet 16 obviously cost a lot more than the standard and if it is just the 1 pound difference I can deal with it. However, if the extra weight takes away from the balance or if other features make the...

Have you tried the online gun library? I have never checked into it, so I have no idea how up to date they keep it. As of right now they have 2 .243 BLR's listed...

Yes, only in 30 and not the ideal for the application, I guess I would have to agree. Hopefully once Remington figures out their production issues with the Marlin rifles they will team with Hornady again come out with some smaller options, like a .270. Good read here on that possibility...

SetterNut I love the lever action rifles as well, and I agree with you on accuracy too, in a real hunting situation, I am always the weak link, so I don't worry about not having a bolt action. If you have decided on the .270, then you are going to be a little more limited. But if you look at...

My only shotgun, 1927 Model 12 16 ga. full choke.

She is a great looking pup Uncle Buck.

I plan on going the second weekend, not sure which day yet though.

I stopped into Bald Eagle Saturday. I have never shot in a club setting, so I was not sure what to expect. But just like your experience, they were very welcoming and helpful. I shot trap and then, since it was slow, the guy on range duty showed me around and explained the 5 station and skeet...

We finally had another chance to shoot trap this weekend, and I was able to pick up the gun. Serial number - 434xxx - Which puts it at 1927 from what I can find online Choke - Full Chamber - I think it must be the older, shorter chamber, no info on the barrel, and from what info I can find...

Yes I am, I just sent you an IM.

I should have the gun in my hands in about two weeks when I stop by his place again, I will take some photos and check the barrel info for you guys as well. Thanks again for all the info.
