When You Hunt
 
What Do you hunt with? Pump, semi-auto, over under, side by side? what gauge? choke size?

I use a Remington 1100 G3 12 gauge, and usually use a improved choke.

I hunt with a Remington 1100 Magnum with a 30 in. full or a 28 in. modified barrel. It depends on the turain and what I am expecting for shooting distance. Mostly I am using the 28 in. modified.. AlsoI sometimes use my old Mossberg side by side both are in 12 gauge but I have to reload blackpowder shells for the old side by side..

Usually an Ithaca 37 20ga with 26" barrels and an IC choke. Handles like a dream, and light enough to carry all day. Some others get the call every now and then, but thats the go to gun.

For pheasants andducks I shoot a 12 Ga. Browning Citori with 26" barrels...It's threaded for invector choke tubes, and I usually use IC/MOD or Skeet/MOD...

Wow.. thats a pretty dog Edcyclopedia.

Season is basically over here, and i turn 16 in a few weeks so i will probably wait til' next season to dove hunt since when i turn 16 i have to take classes before i can get a license. But in the off season i will most likely buy a 12 ga. Remington 870 Super Mag, get some rounds through it before the season starts.

My buddies dog, Sullivan, and a pretty good pointer until he checks out after a few hours. I never seen my buddy get so mad! This was only the 3rd time I've hunted over a dog. I mostly beat the bush with a few others!!!

Great to see you going through the motions and I am very excited for you, you'll love it!

I almost always use my Franchi Renaissance Classic in 12/28. Chokes depending on where I'm at, birdiness,and windiness.

I'll occasionally pull out my late grandfather's OLD Model 12 Winchester pump with a set Mod choke.

I shoot a 12 gauge CZ Bobwhite sxs with 26 inch barrels, improved cylinder and modified chokes. I had the triggers worked on so they are set at 3.5lb for front and 4lb for the back. Also had the stock bent to my measurments. Great handeling gun. I have shot close to 5,000 rounds through it so far without a snag. I have heard others have not been so fortunate with CZ side by sides

It depends on the day. For upland birds I'll shoot a 20 or 12 gauge Red Label, Imp on bottom and Mod on top. Always shoot bottom barrel first.

Ducks I shoot with a Winchester Super X 2 IMP/Mod choke.

Geese, BPS 10 gauge, MOD choke.

Doves either an old Savage/Stevens 410 side by side or the 20.

Turkey I use the 20 Red Label when not bowhunting them.
