Can they handle 120° for prolonged periods? That Salt Cedar is so invasive!! Not sure I will be able to avoid it so planting them in another area with less Tamarisk might be my only option.

I think the Sonoran Desert would eat that tree for lunch and laugh at it. It looks like a mountain tree, like other spruce trees? There is almost no water for most of the year and surface-of-the-sun heat from May through October where I hunt 🥵. I appreciate the comments and suggestions, though. 👍🏻

Well, it’s a heck of a lot better than a bright colored shirt. No way are you wearing long sleeve shirts when it’s 115° in the Sonoran Desert.

Two mojo decoys and four statics, 12's and 20's with 6's.

We have 3 among our group, soon to be 4. Here is the lightest that each has successfuliy run. 20 ga 3" Breakin - 50 Rounds of Monarch Wing & Clay 7/8 oz, 1300 fps (3 1/8 drams) Dove Season - 500 Rounds of Aguilla Competition 7/8 oz, 1275 fps (3 dram). Post First Season - Fed Top Gun 7/8 oz, 1210 fps (2 11/16 grams). These ran after post season cleaning but wouldn't when gun was new. *Initial guidance said 3 drams minimum, since changed to 2 3/4 drams. 12 ga 3" Breakin - 50 rounds of Fed Top Gun 3 drams (1 1/8 oz, 1200 fps). Lightest tried. Guidance is 3 drams minimum. 12 ga 3.5" Breakin - 50 Monarch Wing & Clay 3 1/2 Dram (1 1/8 oz, 1350 fps). It's a Duck Gun and that's the lightest he has run. Guidance is 3 1/4 drams minimum. The 12 ga 3" was ths first bought and ran the minimum drams from day one. However from what others have told me plan on maybe running an extra 1/4 to 1/2 dram for at least the first 50 rounds. These guns are not built sloppy so can have a little extra friction intially.
@desertqwest 9 ай бұрын
Thank you for so much information. That took some time and I appreciate it. I have been very impressed with the way my 12ga cycled out of the box. I didn’t do a “legitimate” break-in as it was difficult to find ammunition during the pandemic and the cost of it when I finally found it. I used dove season as my break-in and it cycled the 1oz, 1200fps #7 cheap Winchester loads beautifully. Again, I only had maybe 3 fte the first season and most of those were the 1400 fps, 1 1/8 #7 1/2. It just keeps spitting everything out now like it was designed to do. Of the 3 in your group, are they all pleased with their decision to purchase a Retay gun? Again, thank you for taking time for such a detailed comment. Happy hunting, Geoff

@desertqwest 10 ай бұрын
Definitely getting ready for some serious storms here this weekend! A lot of the birds will stay in the state. Typically, dove will migrate from the northern states into Southern California and even way down into Mexico. The White Wing dove comes up north from Mexico during the summer and will stay until the first storms hit hard enough and that can push them south back into Mexico.

Did you scarify the seed first?
