@@desertqwest I’ve had a lot of good dove hunts, but this one may have been the most intense and I had never hunted that spot before. Not necessarily the number of birds, but just being right beneath their flight path like that. It was a damn war zone! We hunted it again the next day, it wasn’t nearly as good and the were other people there, but we still got limits. We need to do Yuma sometime, I’ve never done it before but I got some buddies who could point me in the right direction. Or just follow the gunfire 😆

@@pc8649 My buddy shoots Yuma every year and it looks pretty insane! Regardless, I’d like to get out to AZ for hunt and say hello.

@@desertqwest You are welcome anytime! Opening weekend is always the best of course, just have to work harder to find them later in the season. And I’m starting to have better luck in the second season of finding shootable numbers.

@@pc8649 Second season might work well especially if I can find a spot to truck-camp and then meet up.

@@desertqwest It’s a cool piece of technology and I am a bit of a tech nerd. I’ve used it a couple times at the range and while I think it could be a useful training tool, it seems more valuable as a hunting camera so I am excited to finally have one! One thing is for sure, I’m done buying new GoPros for a long time, I don’t care how cool the latest one is 😆

I have trouble getting consistent ballistics using nitro cards and fiber wads (but with smokeless powder). I patterned a couple out of these brass hulls and they looked terrible. I’m guessing I’m not seating them hard enough.

Dove is only 11 weeks away, be here before you know it!

@@pc8649 Yeah, but who’s counting?

Mossberg barrel 24 inch?

@@francescogalioto6711 26” Weatherby

It’s a pretty cool gauge, think about it like an overpowered .410. Just wish there were more ammo and reloading options.

It’s made by an Italian manufacturer, Falco Arms. Many of the Italian gun makers can build a 32 for you, but you’ll have to wait and it probably won’t be cheap. Every once in a while you will see a used single shot or SXS pop up but they tend to go fast.

@@pc8649 alright that might make it a little easier

They are the best!

I’ll see if I can measure it up

Yes I’m curious too, I have an old 32ga and bought some plastic hull stuff from Graff and they are too tight, only chamber half way even with extensive polishing of the chamber.. Wondering if I need to go brass. Thanks

I kinda lied, I had a $100 Cabela’s gift card so it was actually $358!

I just bought a winchester 97 made in 1899 with riot lenth barrel for $625

In AZ, late season is starting back up in a few weeks.

It was pretty thick! Should have shot a limit but they literally didn’t start flying until about 20 minutes before sunset and I was an idiot and only had 1 box on me.

Yeah I got him some of that stuff afterwards. Wasn’t expecting anyone else out there, but always good to be prepared!

Thanks for watching! How was your hunt? What kind of 28ga?

@pc8649 great! Grouse were impossible to see but shot a limit of woodcock with my 870 wingmaster 28

Good choice, love my 28ga Wingmaster!

Been using a Gopro 8 for a while but just picked up a 12 a couple of weeks ago.

@@pc8649 Nice. I was looking into another camera and have considered the GoPro 12 and dji Osmo Action 4. We’ll see

Yeah it was a pretty chaotic shoot, just happened to be right in their flight path. I’ve got footage from a couple of other hunts, just haven’t really looked at it yet. The GoPro really isn’t great with low light or I just haven’t figured out the right setting yet. One of them I definitely want to put together though. What video editor do you use?

@@pc8649 I’m still using iMovie but intend to switch over to Final Cut Pro eventually. Hell, I’m still learning so much that iMovie is good enough for me right now, lol. Just coming up with content to post consistently is difficult enough. Looking forward to acquiring a truck soon and that should add some potential, haha. Anyway, as always, love the hunts you’re sharing. I really would like to make it out there. It’s my kind of hunting. You know me, though….I’d find a sweet spot to make camp and make it a 5-day event, 😂 Can’t wait to see what you have planned for the next video. 🤙🏻

You are welcome any time, you seem like you can survive anywhere lol. But yeah a truck would make a huge difference. Do you have anymore vids coming out from this season?

@@pc8649 At least one from opening weekend. It’s really not much but I wanted to maximize my efforts after having my trip cut short.

No, this is at a dairy farm in central AZ. Have never hunted Yuma for dove, someday I’ll do it just to see all the commotion!

@@pc8649 hahahahaha. You won’t catch me over there, looks pretty crowded.

It did give me a challenge with that skeet choke and trying to take shots that were probably on the edge of my range, but I did manage to knock down a limit with it!

It's available online at various places. I do reload for it though, which is pretty much a necessity if you want any kind of options in 32. But I was just shooting some factory 1/2 oz #8s with a short brush wad for this hunt.

Oh wow, that sounds amazing! Who is the maker?

Ended up just using some factory .5 oz of #8s. I should have shown the box in the video, but they are some EU brand with star crimps. Fiocchi hulls. Patterns are so much better out of the 32 than the .410 that 1/2 oz is really not that much of a disadvantage.

@@pc8649 that’s awesome

I just bought it off someone, it’s nice!

I’ve got 3 of them! But didn’t make the cut this time.

Don’t have either, but would love a Marlin 55 in 10 gauge!

Planning on shooting a SxS for the dove opener in a few days!

Yes! So many targets and it can actually be easier to miss. Your mind and eyes don’t know where to go. But I think that’s a good problem to have!

I picked up a 28ga WM a few months ago and sold my Express model. The Express was basically brand new, but I had to have a WM even if it was a very used one and I’m glad I did! I shoot that gun very well and it’s so slick. But a couple weeks ago I got a lightly used Beretta 690 field gun in 20 gauge and it might be my new favorite gun!

I definitely had some misses! But some days your shooting really comes together and that was one of them.

Popped up on GI last month. Wasn’t even looking, just good timing and I happened to see it almost as soon as it was listed. So I called immediately because I had never seen one for sale before (folding double barrel, much less in 32!)

It’s a thing! Actually a pretty old gauge that fell out of favor long ago

Surprised I didn't see a nerf gun logo on that 😂 cool af tho

There’s also a 24 gauge both of us have one lol as well as 32’s.

@@theshotgunscientists very nice 👍 if yall ever shoot em, be sure to save the boxes, I'm sure plenty of collectors would be thrilled to get their hands on such boxes 😁

Yeah, I don’t remember what recipe I was using for this video but I also didn’t have the height of the press adjusted right. I think I got it pretty much locked in now and the crimps are looking a lot better.

It was a pretty wild flurry, hard to pick a target when they zoom in like that. Hoping for another great season, if this heat ever passes!

@@pc8649 Lol, I love having that problem!!

I ordered direct from OMV's website, paid with a credit card. They ship internationally, real easy transaction and company to deal with. Forgot how long it took to get the package but it was pretty quick, somewhere between 7-10 days.

They are oldies but goodies!

I’ve wanted one for a while, it might be my favorite now too. Trying to decide if I need one in 16 gauge lol

@@pc8649 the 16 is a pleasure to shoot.

I need to win the lottery first, ridiculous what those sell for!
