Anyone know anything about the Charles Daily shotguns (2 3/4 & 3" pump or auto). My wife has informed me that she will be hunting a lot more this year and she ain' t usin' one of my guns.........she wants her own. The gun looks (3D camo pretty much like my benelli) and feels great to me but I know it is a pretty new gun. Just thought I would check with you guys/gals before making a move.

Not sure about the pumps, but the semi-autos are notrious for not ejecting light loads. I know of three people -- buddies that had one and this is the problem they had. I have also heard similiar accounts from other people. If you are going to go with a semi-auto -- go with a name!

Chukarbuster,

Actually, my female has hunted chukars []-- along with 11 other species of game birds. Plan on going to Oregon for blue grouse, mountain quail and possibly band-tailed pigeons in September.

CHUKARBUSTER

Right now, all I know is that my dogs and I are flying to Portland. I won' t be hunting chukars while there -- going for mountain quail and blue and ruffed grouse only, with the chance of getting into band-tailed pigeons. Plan on leaving the 16th of September and hunting until the 22nd. Are you sure chukar is open the second week of September? I thought it didn' t open until the first of October.

Good luck out there and maybe we can meet.

CHUKARBUSTER

No, chukars open the first week, in oct, in oregon, we are setting up camp the weekend after labor day, for a two week period, for mt quail and ruffs, we will be in the cottage grove area. then its home for fall turkeys with the dogs. then a short work period, then off to the wilds of idaho for a multi spieces hunt.
