My Boondocker Decoy Report
(Preview)
Recieved a half dozen Boondocker crow decoys about a month ago and finally got a chance to press them into service. I am not usually a person that has to buy the latest gadgets but these deeks seemed so practical and simple. Further, I am one that believes in keeping things simple for best results...

Found a nice shot and choke combo!
(Preview)
I worked up some loads last night for a friend and myself to shoot squirrels. These are 1 3/8 oz of 5's at 1200 fps. These patterns were fired from Benelli M-1 with factory Imp. Mod. choke at 40 yards. The circle is 30". Four of the five were consistent and the one low count "is what it is". I...

Anyone here crow hunt with a 410 gauge?
(Preview)
Hello all! I have recently been given permission to hunt a few properties that are in dire need of some crow elimination, and my girlfriend is showing interest in going and trying it as well.

Reloading Question for the Old Gunners.
(Preview)
I have been looking at Alliant's 20/28 powder. Do any of you that shoot the old guns use this powder because of it's low pressure? and if so do you have a 1 3/8 ounce load for it. It is similar to IMR's 7625 in pressure but has a sightly lower charge weight and is about 25% cheaper. Looking at all the info I can...

Help me out im buying a foxpro caller today or tomorrow!
(Preview)
Im looking to order a foxpro caller today or tomorrow, if I can't decide today. I want to get a reliable caller I can use for waterfowl, crows, and coyotes that will last for a long time. Should I get a spitfire or will I regret it not being loud enough? Should I just drop the extra $220 and get the firestorm?...
