I'm looking at getting a new upland 20 gauge and two finalists are the Browning Cynergy CX and Benelli 8282U I've had brownings and have a cynergy wicked wing. Very nice. But I picked up and pointed the 828U in store and even though I didn't want to like it, it just points naturally for me...

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you're enjoying the holidays with your families! [/url] DSC00808 by TheWanderer84, on Flickr[/IMG] Back in NJ and SE PA we don't have pheasants like there were on our trip to SD but I did find some birds of a different feather yesterday! Love those days...

On our way back now. In IA. Didn't get to report on the third day of hunting. Too late when we got back from dinner. We started out well enough with my uncle getting two birds on our first push. Should've had a few more but I'm constantly amazed by their ability to find gaps. We did a lot of...

And thanks for the PMs

Today started off unproductive. We were searching for new areas and hunting ROWs as we went. All with little success. Pushed some stretches of cattails and they just weren't there. Decided to then try an area adjacent to where we hunted yesterday but in a strip of cover. We set it up with me...

Sitting here in the room about to go to breakfast. Yesterday was awesome. Warmed up to ~10-15 and that was perfect with walking all over. We certainly found the birds. By the end of the day I think we saw about 100 (conservatively). The last push we did thru a shelter belt all he'll broke loose...

Sitting here in the motel about to pass out. Been uploading pics via twitter. That was one long drive. Bad weather thru MN had us doing 35-40 the whole state. We're staying in the country side motel in Hoven. Scouted around a bit today. Missouri river seems about the only open water. Tomorrow...

Almost into La Crosse, WI. Using my dads iPad and trying to show him how awesome this thing is. This is the best travel electronic thing I've seen. He's got verizon on it so maybe I can upload some pics as we go. The plan (I know to be really flexible) is to field hunt waterfowl if we find em...

I'm from PA, but for now am living and working in south jersey. Long drive coming up. 6 to pick up my dad, 19 to aberdeen, and 1 1/2 more to the motel.

Really excited and having trouble focusing at work tonight (although I should since I work in an ED)... When I'm done here at 1a I'm picking up my bags and the dog and starting out for central SD. Stopping to pick up my dad in NW PA and then my uncle who's flying in to Aberdeen. We'll have...

Can you tell me what kind of camera that is that you used? I enjoy filming and have done a fair amount of archery filming this year, but want to get a POV camera that will make it easy/reasonable to self-film my bird hunting. Consdering the Contour cam and HD Hero. That looks like it may be a...

Good to see and hear. I'm headed to central SD this coming Saturday for my family's first trip there for pheasant. We've been to the black hills for turkey and deer in the past. It'll be me, my father, and my uncle. I have a one year old lab who's only seen a few stockies so I'm sure it'll...

Having a tough time finding online reviews and photos of all the places I can google and get names of. Any personal opinions and experiences that were good and where? Thanks

License is drawn and in hand. Just trying to finalize our plans and get as much info as possible since it's our first time out.

Finalizing plans for our trip to SD this year. There will be 3 of us coming out for the first time ever with my young lab for a combination of pheasant and waterfowl (targeting ducks) hunting. I'm trying to decide on one of these two areas based on the following criteria: 1. Pheasant densities...
