    We have tried putting huge spreads out on the rivers in the late season and they just dont care.

    yea we only do that at the blinds on the river it's a competition and more times than not they come into bigger spreads but that's on the big mississippi. Everywhere else I hunt 5 dozen is Alot. 1 to 3 dozen is what i hunt with most the time.

    We hunt big lakes a lot. When we are on the lake we usually run 10 dz duck floaters and 2 dz goose floaters. If we are in our flooded timber holes we only take 18-24 decoys.

    Crazy but cool story. I'm on the "Sitka Gear' facebook page. Back in May we had a guy (Eric) post up he was selling raffle tickets for a Benelli super black eagle 2. I ended up buying two of the tickets(20$). Fast forward to August and I get a call from a South Dakota number. It was Eric saying I had won that gun! I was stoked to say the lease. It arrived to me a few days ago an it is sweet!

    Lucky Bastard :lol: that's awesome though. I put in for those too and never win maybe this next one I'm buying tickets for will be different. They are giving away a gun everyday of the month next month.

    This Is the first thing I've ever won. What's crazy is I live in Oklahoma and the raffle was in SD. I had like a .005% chance at winning. I'm glad I did though. Hopefully you will too!

    SBE2 in ? Is that optifade gore or kryptek? That's awesome. My main duck gun is a benelli nova that I won also. it doubles as a boat oar and an ice breaker in emergencies :tu:

    It's in optifade. I have a nova as well. Also have another sbe2 my wife bought me two years ago. That's what I mainly hunt with.

    I got a super nova also on a super good deal used from fam member with rifled barrel combo. I use it for deer and turkey and the Nova for waterfowl. great guns for sure. one day I'll get me a sbe2. liking the new berettas though too.

    They are pretty sweet guns


    I looked hard at the A400. It just didn't fit my shoulder like the sbe2 does.
