You should try watching women’s roller derby AFTER you finish reloading. LOL

Roller derby is a great sport!

Does the 3-round rule for CO apply at game farms (where they put out pen-raised birds)? Some family have mentioned possibly doing a get together in early March at one east of Denver and I wouldn't have even thought to know that rule or look it up.

Growing up in KS, it was limited to 3 only on migratory game (waterfowl and dove). I knew guys who had extended magazines for upland hunting pheasant and quail.

No. And you don’t need a hunting license either. In fact I just went hunting with my father in law this past Wednesday to Roosters outside of Calhan. He shot 7 pheasants and I got three. Not really the same as wild birds but something to do without traveling five hours to Nebraska, paying $120 for a license and hunt for a weekend and MAYBE get two shots and one bird if your lucky. Been there done that a couple of times.

I've never hunted one but I would talk to the owners about it.

But 3 rounds on birds flying away from you should be enough. After even the second shot they may be out of range

Good to know. I've been out to Kiowa Creek by Bennett a couple times before. Honestly can't recall if I had a plug or not, but feel better knowing it doesn't matter there.

Completely agree it's sometimes nice to just know you get to do some live action shooting. I've sure spent a great many weekends getting minimal action on wild birds in western KS, and probably spend more on gas, hotels, etc., than I do to hit a game farm. But there's definitely a difference to hunting wild birds.

It's the 2nd and 3rd birds that i like having more shells for.

I've had two fortunate opportunities to lay down 5 quail on 5 shots for a single covey rise, and a few more 4/4 Rooster pheasants (limit 4 in Kansas).

Why in the world would anyone want an extended magazine on an upland shotgun? I guess they like carrying a lot of extra weight in their arms and trying to swing on flushed birds with guns that are horribly out of balance. Those guys clearly didn't have a clue.

Yeah, I’ve never taken the plug out of mine. Took much of a hassle for little or no reward.

Yes, weight and balance are everything in an upland shotgun IMO.

My problem and maybe other hunters too, is FINDING the first bird I shot without having dogs to retrieve. Especially dove hunting where they land in grass/weeds and it’s hard to find them. I won’t shoot another bird until I’ve found the downed one. I’m just fickle that way.

Hunter without dog is a half of hunter
