Lead 'em by about a foot.
+1 to the extra rounds!!Take about 50 more rounds than you think you might use. Haha No really its a blast have fun
I have a vest that holds 24 shells in individual shell loops, and has other pockets for additional shells that I intend to fill up. I only have 75 rounds at the moment. Should I bring more than that?+1 to the extra rounds!!
You can probably forgo your sidearm *IF* you can remember to bring along a few rounds that you will under no circumstances fire in your shotgun except for personal defense. It will make a better defense weapon than your sidearm ever can.I have a vest that holds 24 shells in individual shell loops, and has other pockets for additional shells that I intend to fill up.

Also, do you guys carry a sidearm with you when you go out hunting? For some reason, it just seems appropriate. I'm also wondering out in the desert what the chances are of running into an angry javelina or something. Plus, since I've started carrying concealed, it's becoming more and more a part of me and I feel weird leaving it at home. BUT I'm also going to already be loaded down with shotgun shells, water, and my 870 and I don't know that I want to lug around the extra weight...
Just make sure you're not breaking any laws. I hunt dove on a wetlands area and there are heavy fines if you're caught with anything but steel shot.You can probably forgo your sidearm *IF* you can remember to bring along a few rounds that you will under no circumstances fire in your shotgun except for personal defense.

He should be okay in the Phoenix area.Just make sure you're not breaking any laws. I hunt dove on a wetlands area and there are heavy fines if you're caught with anything but steel shot.
I have let a few slip by because they were flying too straight coming in and I figured they were trash birds.unlike clays, real birds rarely fly in a straight line![]()
I dont wear hearing protection when Im in an open field. A hat and eye protection definitely, but we are always yelling back and forth, letting others know when they are looking in the wrong direction, low birds in the mornings, stuff like that.don't pull the trigger before the buttstock is firmly on your shoulder
I think your fine on ammo.
+1 watch where they fall, go get it before shooting another or your bordering on unethical stupidity.
wear ear protection... tinnitus sucks I have it from dove hunting, I suggest surefires ep3s for that activity. my father does as well.
