My brother texts me: "I'm having trouble hitting them. How much lead should I be using?"

Me: "You should definitely be using all of the lead that comes in the shell"

What a weird question.

Give em a barrel full!

Hahaha, tff.

Where did you catch those fish? In the mouth.

What didja catchem on? A hook.

Where did you shoot that deer? In tha shoulder.

Where did you get that buck? In tha woods.

Lead, as in “I will lead the fight.”

Ya think?

Lead them with a barrel full of lead?

Give em both barrels 😜

High velocity 1 and fourth ounce # 7.5 shot will do the job .

The effort we put into killing a 16 oz bird.

Worth every oz!!!

Better yet, both barrels.

12s dont give them a chance an they over-penetrate.

Only city slickers use 12s on little bitty tiny mourning doves.

Oh yeah, an guys with big trucks and little goobers. Yeah.

that's a HUGE dove. mine weigh about 4oz !

BetchA he meant " what size shot" just worded wrong.

what a waste of sinker material.

That's after being shot 12 times...

Lotsa lead!

The one I got yesterday still had egg goo attached. I only got one shot, would rather have shot a box, much more fun!.

He is just making sure we are paying attention, right??

answer is: more. (covers both possibilities)


remember the downeast Yankee poem about ducks.
"as long as they're coming, let them come in.
Shoot where they're going, not where they've been!"

Lead them enough to hit em!!

"keep on chootin"......grandpa Schmitz..with a bit of hun twang...1952...or so. Makes me eight or so, ya. I had to learn how to swim before I learned to "choot".

Not using high velocity shot, yeah, I used to blame it on that too!!!!

Texas doves..................

Maybe he is spending too much time texting instead of bird hunting

1-1/4oz ??

Gawd hahahaha

Thems buzzard loads

We told a noob one time, to get them high brass duck loads, #6

That poor bastard was wore out by the end of the day. 😄😄

Tell him it only takes one birdshot to kill a dove.
