Now that my big game seasons are over, it's devil bird time!

That's a pile. No huns?

There is one in there. Only saw two small coveys of them. With only 8 total I'd rather shoot chukars anyway.

That's me. I have shot an 870 for the last 39 years. I can shoot it as fast as any semi auto. I have killed 5 individual birds on a covey rise quite a few times. I've tried to switch to other shotguns over the years but I have never shot them as good, so it's always back to old reliable. lol

I can't hit birds, or find birds, or outwalk people, and I certainly don't have the best dog, but I'd venture to say, no one... and I mean no one, puts more lead in the sky. I've started walking in on coveys with extra shells between my teeth for Round II

That's a great idea. I might have to try that. It kills me to hunt where you can only have 3 shells. I know guys that love their O/U or S/S but I'm just not one of them.

nor am I. though jls has definitely out shot me with his 16 sxs, with about 1/3 the shooting.

I’m dumb enough to still be swinging a 12Ga 870 for all my birds. Chukars, Huns, pheasants…. By the end of the day I hate it but I always pass up the 20ga version on the next outing. Someday I’ll learn.

When I climbed up that stupid trail I messaged you about the other day I was packing my 8 lb pig of a browning BPS pump. Can't say that it was enjoyable to carry, but it's all I've got.

I always shot a 12 gage for years. Now I only use it for waterfowl. The 20 gage is way easier to carry and shells are smaller. Kills birds just like a 12.

It's not hard to shoot well if you only take high percentage shots. lol
