    Are tungsten turkey loads worth the money?

    I shoot 3" #9 TSS out of my 12 gauge. As few shots as I take on turkeys, i justify it to myself as a 'just in case' a bird hangs up at 50 yards. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Prior to TSS I shot a bird at 40 yards with Winchester Longbeard #5's that died instantly. I think about going...

    Boots for extra wide feet?

    I just got my first pair of Meindl's- Comfort Fit Hunters. I do NOT have wide feet, so can't help there, but they do have a wider toe box than my Schnee's. Might be worth a try. Hope you find a good solution!

    what size do you wear in Kennetrek? I hear Meindl is a size 1/2 or full size down?

    Boot lifespan? Danner Pronghorns not holding up

    best pair of boots I had was an old pair of Rocky's- lasted about 15 years of A LOT of upland bird miles and several seasons of western elk/deer hunting. Incredible. I've now had a pair of Schnee's Beartooths for 3 years. Really good until this year when several holes have appeared. Not sure...

    BOSS 20 gauge 2 3/4" #5 for ducks

    I used 20ga #5's for wild pheasants this year, and they worked well. I'd like to use them for ducks, but it's cost prohibitive for me for waterfowl.

    I don't have any recommendations for specific outfits, but you're at least looking in the correct state!

    Hunting Camp/Wall Tent Questions

    It's a lot to deal with, but we enjoy it. We also have people that can't hunt much but still love being at camp.

    Sad

    I used to wade across the Bitterroot River in college; always coming within a couple inches of the top of my waders while on my tiptoes. I was often by myself, in the dark. So dumb. The duck hunts could be excellent, though!

    Why do you like your gaiters?

    I also won't be getting another pair of Kenetreks. Mine get the most use upland bird hunting in the Midwest. Mine do not cinch well at the top and were badly frayed at bottoms and along seams during year 2. This is my 3rd year using them and both buckles have ripped of the gaiters. I'm going...

    First lite furnace base layers?

    I own the bottoms and love them. Very warm. If I'm not going to be very active, they are my primary bottom base layer when temps are below freezing.

    Pick me out a set of waders

    It's a real crap-shoot. I have had best luck with cheap, breathable cabelas brand waders, BUT, that was before Bass Pro bought them out. My understanding is quality is down across the board now. I'm going to try High N Dry next, but agree that higher cost does not in any way guarantee better...
