    Thanks cut emnova. 65 ponies on a 14' boat will certainly get you there in no time.

     

    We topped out at a blistering 9 mph today, fully loaded of course. :D

    Hey Beman,

     

    They're posted just not readily accessible.

     

    If you go to the home page and click on hunting and trapping at the top it will give you an option for Missouri Game birds. If you follow that and select the "seasons page" it will take you right to it.

     

    Sept 10th to Sept 18th.

     

    I would give you a link but the page never changes from missouriconservation.com. :confused:

     

    Good Hunting

     

    What part of MO are you from?

    The conservation dept. is a little slow this year, or at least slow in getting information to their website. Missouri usually has an early Canada Goose season in mid-September but I have not found any information yet.

    I second what BemanICS1 said. They practically land on the stupid thing.

     

    He's dead on about shooting your own mojo dove.

     

    I was very skeptical about its ability to pull in doves but it works.

    I heard a rumor...

    I've heard that Benelli is going to release an updated, sort of speak, model of the SBE II this August. This new model is supposed to have some of the minor problems corrected from the previous release of SBE II's. I can't tell you what problems.

     

    1) Is this true and what are some of the problems?

    2) Is there a way to tell what release the gun is from?

     

    I've decided to save some pennies and hold out for a Benelli. Now I have to decide if I want the original model or spend an extra couple hundred and get the II. What do you think?

     

    Thanks

    I usually hunt the open area. Although not as intensively managed, A lot of ducks find their way into the flooded Pecan trees in the early afternoon and evening.

     

    I lived in Columbia for several years and hunted Eagle Bluffs a lot. Like you said, lots of ducks equals a lot of hunters. I never made it to Grand Pass, but I put my name in the drawing every year.

    That's a nice pile Idaho. You're so right about finding/watching the birds and being where they want to be. Sometimes I need to be more patient.

     

    I hunt primarily public wetlands that the conservation department manages (Four Rivers) for a couple of reasons. Ducks and more ducks. The downfall is that also attracks a lot of hunters.

     

    From the very begining of the season the ducks were really wary. I hunted with a lot of variation in my spreads. I usedanywhere from 10 dozen decoys to 1 dozen throughout the season. I also used anywhere from none to four mojo-ducks. Calling is not so much an issue. I'm a decent caller but on public land it does little good to compete with knuckleheads who don't stop and use the hail call all day. Don't get me wrong, it has its place but I only use mine when the birds need just a little encouragement. Sometimes it works other times doesn't. I found no consistent patterns and everytime I changed my setup or position it seem to be wrong. I only had two good days when my buddy and I each got our limit. I know its not about what you kill but the time you have and who you are with, but its more fun when they are dumping into your spread. It would be nice to have a little edge.

     

    I'm also curious of how well they like it. How well it functions, it's durability, etc?

    I was looking at some target/field loads today and saw a lot of 2 3/4 dram with 1 1/8 shot (using a browing sweet 16 for quail this weekend). Wal-Mart did not have any 3 dram in the 1 1/8 load. I know the min. recommended is 3 dram but how does the slightly lighter dram with 1 1/8 shot cycle with the inertia system? I guess it depends on the gun/luck.
