#4's work well on good decoying birds, but come up short at longer range. If you have birds that are interested, but not fully committing, #3's in the fast steel was my jam. If the birds are not committing at all and typically just flying by at 60 yards, #2's or #1's. As @CouesPursuitsaid tho, doing a quick pattern test at your typical shot distance is a must. It might shock you to see the dispersion of your shot. Good luck and keep hammering those merganzers. Someone has to shoot em'.

😆, the freezer situation was on my mind pretty hard this Dec. I was almost glad I didn't see a buck worth going after. Just good to get out and look.

I have seen a little rutting, but overall pretty weak. Lots of water this year, animals are spread out for me. Plenty of bucks, just nothing worth going after yet for me.

What is the deadline to apply?

No doubt. JJ's makes great bloody Mary's and I don't have to put my shitt paper in the trash can.

Nice! Good to see you catching out of Cholla! The crash pad and scenery are so much nicer than down south. 😆

Nice Bull Mark! Great tops on him.

I worked at sportsmans on Cave creek and bell for a year or 2 until sportsmans warehouse put Az sportsman out of business. Glen Links was interesting...

Brace yourself...., LE also gets discounts on hunting and shooting gear. Life is so unfair. Waaaahhhhhh

Durability, yes.. Overall turret design and glass quality, no... They work tho.

Remember Houston, this is YOUR profession. Very doubtful he did not know exactly what he was doing. If there is anyone that should have known, it was him. The owner, head guide of a larger guiding outfit. I am far from a guide hater, as I have a few buddies who guide. They get a lot of flak, often times undeserved. Knowingly, violating game laws tho, is a hard one to defend.

Hopefully they punish him to the fullest extent allowed. He knew exactly what he was doing...

Density Altitude. It is a calculation using the temperature, barometric pressure and humidity of the environment you are shooting in. Basically gives a drag model to apply to your bullet's trajectory. Under 400ish yards it is really of no value and does not affect bullet trajectory all that much.

Going forward all my scopes will be FFP. The reason I like FFP is for wind holds. In a perfect shot scenario, I dial for distance and hold for wind. The negative for me using an FFP scope is the bottom end magnification is almost unusable since you can barely see the reticle. Illumination helps with this issue. CDS turret is a nice if you typically hunt the same area and your DA is typically within a certain range. Environmentals start to have a good effect on ballistics around 400+ yards. Of course, the negatives are no easy way to adjust for significant DA changes and you are locked into the bullet you set the turret up for.

3"??? So less than a 5% difference? Sheep guys are weird.
