Say What??

Land in the decoys??? The only ones that get to land in my decoys is if there is one or two in front of a group coming in. Let them land and take the ones that are committed to land. By the time ya get done shooting at the group you be all outta shells and the ones on the ground get up and leave...unless you is a quick loader...and I is a quick loader.

Fabs as far as shooting deer on the move..well I can give somebody a ton of ammo if they want. For a slug gun I used an 1100 or an 11-87 semiauto. Usually with scope(on a stand) and just a normal 1100 skeet gun while walking or as you called it stalking. I mainly used an 1100 or 11-87 cause with the ol slugs they didn't kick as much...but also cause I was comfortable with them. They fit. I once jumped 5 deer on the edge of a little swamp. They ran across the field to another woods..shot and killed all 5 before they got 70 yds..so it wasn't spray and pray. I really did know what I was doing and so do an awful lot of semi auto coyote and prairie dog shooters. BTW before I get dissed all over the board. What I did was entirely legal. I was actually shooting on a crop damage permit...but I had a guy with me that REALLY needed the meat. It was also an awsome experience. I had never been able to shoot more than 3 at any one time before. After guiding for more than 30 yrs for waterfowl and deer..I found the better shots and hunters used semi autos. There were some great pump gun shooters too but way more good semiauto shooters. The ones that were usually pretty poor shooters were the ones who came out with their pretty Over/unders. Not all now but most! They wanted to give those ducks or geese a sporting chance ya see! Just my observation you understand!?The best shooter I ever had in a blind(other than me) was a lady..a young one of about 20-21 yrs. In 3 days of hunting she shot 9 geese with nine shots and all were bang flops. Course part of her shooting so good was my calling ability. Got 'em right in there ya know?
