mudhen Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I'll always love the Cards. We lived behind Lou Brock's flower shop in the late 60's. CA has maybe a million acres of rice, at least 1/2 flooded each fall to decomp the rice straw. They outlawed 99.99% of burning the straw because of pollution & health reasons. Decomp is good & bad. Good to have a place to hunt, but the birds now are mostly disinterested and just sleep, eat, and sheit in untouchable areas of rice. A natural club near the rice is the best spot as the ducks like the marshes during daylight hours and feed in the rice at night. But we have our good rice days on occasion... mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudhen Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Originally posted by roadrider18: MUDHEN...........how in the world do you know which call to blow! That's about 1/3 what I normally use. We get so many species of ducks & geese, you need many calls. I use at least 2 speck calls, 1 snow call, 1 cackler call, 1 honker call, plus all sorts of calls & whistles for sprig, teal, widgeon, gadwall, mallets, etc. Even with all the rain, we are still getting a few birds. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudhen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I shoot many Benelli's, but Browning Golds are my favorite gas guns. Just ordered a new Winchester SX3 today. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 What about the Beretta 391 model? Have you ever shot that model, either field or sporting? They seem to be the most popular around here-how does that compare to the Gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yeah, I also ordered an Xtrema II yesterday. I like Beretta gas guns, but not nearly as much as Browning gas guns. To me, Brownings are smaller, lighter, thinner, and much, much, easier to clean and maintain. The first Xtrema is like a 2x4! The Xtrema II is a little better. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK JACK Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 How do you I take a pic I have on my cpu and attach a URL to that image. This is the part that has me as lost as a goose in a snow storm. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The picture must be uploaded to the web first. That's how you get a URL. You can't post it directly from your computer. Use an image hosting service: http://hunt101.com/ http://photobucket.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Black Jack, I don't think frappr links are going to work here. The URL must be a full and direct link to a image file. Your's points to http://www.frappr.com/benelliownersgroup/photo/1033028 , but there should be a .jpg extension on it for it to be of use here. Look at the properties of my image above and you'll see http://www.gemsdesigns.com/images/howtopostanimage.jpg Nice mallards, by the way!
