The new Mossberg SA-28 ga. continues to stack the roosters. One of these was taken at an honest 40 yards. Two shots, two birds. 3/4 oz. 7.5 shot. What’s not to like? #mossbergshotguns #28gauge #pheasanthunting #ringneck #rooster #pheasantsforever #ronspomeroutdoors

Brother Bob and old buddy Brad with our limit of SD roosters taken on the old family farm. Man, the memories swirling around those fields! Houses, barns, grandparents, parents all gone, but the land remains. CRP has brought back the birds. Brad was shooting his Grandpa’s Rem.

The shot might have been too close when you find the wad embedded in the wing. Shot caught the neck. It pays to shoot for the head. 10 yards in the trees. Mossberg 28 ga. again. #pheasanthunting #mossberg #mossbergshotgun #southdakota #28ga #ringneck #rooster #ronspomeroutdoors
