Heading to region 5 next week to hopefully tag my doe and get a buck, I'll let you all know how it goes, wish me luck. What has the weather been like? I don't think I should have to much trouble tagging my doe. I also plan to do some bird hunting in the area and have a few questions:
I just came into an older berretta AL2 gas operated semi-auto 20 ga 2-3/4 inch that I will be bringing for grouse and hopefully jumping the odd pond for ducks. I have never used a semi auto before, I bought the run of the mill Federal #6 1 ounce upland shot from Canadian Tire for grouse but then read a brief comment on another site that semi-autos don't cycle one ounce shot? Is this accurate?
The gun has a fixed full choke so I likely won't use steel shot for ducks. Has anybody been using the bismuth or tungsten loads and how have they performed?
