    20ga convert waterfowl

    I run 3” boss 3/5 blend in mine and love them, teal to geese they work on them all. Beat the hell out of steel shot and are much cheaper than tss for turkey.

    No matter which pack you go with humping moose quarters bone it sucks, shoot one as close to the river or road as possible.

    Long Range 308 bullet

He cursed Benelli every chance he got, when he finally showed me the gun it looked like it’d been used as a boat paddle and left on the bottom of a...
