cdogg44 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Cool. I'm also curious about what choke you were using. Also, what shot size? I went this weekend, saw a lot of ducks, shot a lot of shells, and occasionally I guess I got lucky and a duck would actually fall. This was my first time actually duck hunting and my new SBEII, also the first time I've really used it, did absolutely perfect. I just need to work on my aim, lol. Still fun though. I did shoot two boxes of 3.5's over the whole weekend, and have basically got no shoulder pain. However, a guy hunting with us was getting real tired of his 870 because it started to hurt so much.

CaptainCharles Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 Add two more geese and 8 more ducks to that total! I was using IC choke for both Duck and goose. 3" #4 shot for the ducks, and 3" BB for the geese.. Quote
shobes Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I've done very well with the MOD choke using #4 or #2 shot, mostly hevi shot and some tungsten. Birds I bring down have been dead. Quote
EFLOYD Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Used my SBE II twice in the blind so far. Shooting MOD with 2 3/4 and 3 inch #2s. Dropped a few also, love it! Quote
EFLOYD Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Again, today, pouring rain to start the morning.....then two mergies, two buffies......not so good BUT........I have the wood version of SBEII, and it performs flawlessly even in the rain, though I was nervous a cat about rust. I'll step out on a limb here and make a recommendation.....CorrosionX!!! Saved the day....my whole world was wet with rain or saltspray....no rust, nada, nothing. I owe it all to CorrosionX!! Quote
catbutt23 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I have been out once with my SBE II and will go Thursday. Love it. Where are you hunting around Morehead? Have you been able to get out to Pamlico Point? Any info is good info... Thanks! Quote
EFLOYD Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 No haven't been up that way. I stay around Bogue Sound, Core Sound, Back Sound, N. River, Middle Marshes and Shackleford Banks. I hear that PP is holding Pintail, Teal, and Blacks....but they're on the impoundment and stay there. Word is, even if you get a draw hunt, your luck ain't that great, they just stay put, don't get up and move around to offer any shooting. My friend says he sits there and watches them all day, just out of reach, but they stay down and don't fly. Quote
catbutt23 Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 We usually get out every year to PP. Navigate to the ditch around 4 AM (usually very interesting) and then wade into the impoundment. We have had good luck every year. Alway go late season. Hopefully they will fly for us. Thanks! Quote
