Quote from: Bigeclipse on May 05, 2014, 05:56:36 PM do the cheaper mossberg 835 really reach out as far as the sx3 and Brownings or does that backbore barrel technology really help the patterns. again the most important factor to me is getting to an ethical 50yard gun with the old saying of around 100 pellets in a 10 inch circle. I have read people stating different combos on the Browning silver and sx3 with certain chokes and ammk getting good 50 yard patterns but not much on the mossbergs.

If I call and he gobbles at 75 yards I'm not calling again. He can choose to come or leave but he only has to walk 35 yards to be in gun range at that point.Let him tell you what he wants to do and stop expecting instantaneous results. Sometimes, he'll gobble at 70 yards and it'll take him 30 minutes to show up. But he's going to be looking for you at that point instead of knowing exactly where you are.
Quote from: Huntaholic on May 06, 2014, 04:06:43 PMDude youve had some good advice posted here, along with some stern lectures and hand slapping. IF you buy a good gun and a good choke and invest the time, effort, and money into finding what it likes, then YES you can wad em up at 40 yards and MORE. IF they ban me for saying it, so be it, but I will shoot 50 yards or less ALL DAY LONG and when I pull the trigger I fully expect the bird Im shooting at to be there flopping. Now with all that said, Im going to offer you one piece of advice that I havent seen mentioned: when setting up on a bird, get yourself in a position to where when you can see him, he is within range! Whether that be a hill, hedgerow, whatever between you and him, make sure if at all possible to be within range when hes within sight! I have very little use for decoys simply because I know how to set up on a bird. If you cant see him till you can kill him, he cant see the "hen" either and he will close the distance!
