Well, since last week i shared my fondest memories with you guys, this week I will try and go over how we choose what types of steel shot to use depending on where we hunt! Since most days we hunt in small swamps off main lakes we prefer to use a 3″ 2 or 4 shot. For those of you who don’t hunt i know this means little to you, but the larger the shot size the farther the pellets will travel when shot. a 2 shot will travel further than a 4 shot and so on. In turn, when hunting smaller areas it is wiser to have more and smaller pellets in each shell to scatter the pattern of pellets.
When hunting open water or shooting geese we use what is called BB or BBB shot which is much larger and can kill larger animals. This helps us shoot at farther ranges and bag more birds. So depending on the place you are hunting that will decide what shells for you to use in your gun. Scouting where you will be hunting is also very important for knowing what type of shells to use and why. So take this tip with you on your next hunt and bag more birds!

I’ve really enjoyed your blog so far. I like how you explain things to people that may be new to hunting – it really helps me understand what you are doing exactly. You also have some great pictures! I have a friend that does most of the website and catalog photography for Bass Pro Shop. Your pictures remind me of his wonderful pictures! Keep up the great work!
