He was shooting a Browning Citori 12 ga O/U and mentioned it felt like shouldering a boat anchor after a couple hours. Shooting is near constant, the way he tells it. "The voice of reason!"

An unbelievable hassle and not necessary. Rent guns from your outfitter. Most use Berrettas and Benelis. Just my 2 cents.........

Already planning for next year, shot 4500 dove in 3.5 days. It was everything that you see and here about and more. Constant flow of dove all day,the people and food was amazing. I would highly recommend taking a strap on shoulder pad and use their guns.

I never went but have had a few buddies that went and as already stated, use the outfitters gun and take some tip money for your bird boys. They also said to pace yourself, lol.

I spent a day with a buddy shooting pigeons out of the stockyards next to a fair sized city. We filled a Bobcat bucket 4 times and thought it was fun at the time. Next day I couldn't raise my arm and the bruise slowly faded but took about 10 days to git gone. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

The birds have the meat equivalent to a chicken nugget and they're considered a pest. It sounds like there are tens of millions of them and they reproduce as fast as they're killed off. Sounds like a sore shoulder to me.

By late afternoon as the pheasants were coming, we'd both look at each other and said, "you shoot", " no, you shoot", lol Could barely lift the gun up. Can't imagine a thousands plus bird shoot with 12's, even with trap loads....
