ha yea i can't wait! We're camping out ther friday night so nobody takes our spot this year! Last year we got there at midnight and there was somone already there. Hopefully i'll have some sweet pics to post.
Yea i thought about browsing through some of them and see what people thought... but i have enough forums up on my screen now as it is.

Buddy has one, loves it. Super smooth, rises easily to the natural position, light, easy to maneuver. Shot it a few times, wouldn't mind having one myself.
Awesome. Yea it is nice and light, lighter than my 20ga 870 i think. It's my first 12ga and i couldn't beat the price.
absolutely love mine, haven't shot the 3 1/2" out of it yet but i've shot 3" out while shooting trap just to see and it handled great and shoulder felt great too, like it WAY better than my 870 express mag, lighter, doesn't bother my shoulder, and the action is way smoother also
sweet that's what i was hoping to hear. My buddy that owns the gun shop says it's a great gun too.:thumb:
I shoot a sbe II also have 20 gauge pump and both are great guns just got through teal season here cant wait until big duck
Well didn't get to use it Sat 
but had some good luck this morning :thumb: Got 3 Wood ducks, a teal and a black duck.

I had one before trading it in on my current Franchi, i loved my nova. damn gun was tough and put up with crappy weather and freezing temps, the only thing it did do once was the firing pin froze, it was 8deg out and get a little wet while wading into a spot, now i carry remoil in my blind bag and since havent had a problem.
Man you have such nice terrain there. Ill snap a picture of our desert ponds :spit: Good work on the black duck, something Ill never probably kill. And woodies and teal have to be some of my favorite birds to shoot and eat. Great pictures too. One of my buddies got a Cannon Rebel EOS 40D this year so maybe well have some good shots like yours.
Nice pictures man I cant wait I have one month where Im at got everything ready. I would like to see some different terrain all I hunt is marsh and cypress woods sometimes
haha jordan you're talking about my area... meanwhile the backround in your avatar are gorgeous mountains and open land :rofl:. Gotta admit though we do have some nice areas to duck hunt around here.
I hunted the river this morning Ill snap a pic of it. Big brown trout surfacing all around while I watch ducks. It is awesome I just would love to hunt ducks in timber at least once. And woodies are rare here, black ducks are not here at all so you have nice diversity too. Good to see your putting it to good use :thumb: Check out the easy hit sights (the ones Tom Knapp endorses) they are kick ass. The Benelli bead unscrews and they stick on the rib. Those suckers glow! http://www.cabelas.com/fryprod2-1/708830.shtml?type=product&WT_tsrc=CSE&WT_mc_id=GoogleBaseUSA&WT_z_mc_id1=708830&RID=40&mr:trackingCode=6C11DE51-F5D2-DF11-82EF-001B21631C34&mr:referralID=NA
Damn lucky you! We went out yesterday and got 7 right at first light. 4 woodies and 3 teal. I got some kick ass pics yesterday but i left my camera at my buddies. Yea those things are pretty nice. I found myself yesterday though not even using the site, pretty much throwin up and bustin off.
you get anything?

Yep I killed a gadwall and a greenhead this morning and left at around 10 because there were alot of birds and we want to hunt the area tomorrow with my buddy and his dog. My friend is a pro staffer on final approach and bill saunders calls and has taught me a great deal so I was seeing how the birds were decoying etc. Lots of fun to get a greenhead to circle three times as ive never been able to really call to them until this year. So tomorrow it might get rude down at the river. Post your pics!
