Hey Folks,
I'm new here. I'm a big upland bird hunter. Wondering how everyone's season is going? I have been out a few times and plan to head to the Wenatchee this weekend to get some Grouse.
Since it's a firearm forum, I'll mention that right now I use a Beretta 12 ga. A400 Unico. I did just buy a used 20 ga. Beretta O/U 686 which I'm very excited for, mainly for the weight savings. I have another Beretta O/U 686 in a sporting length for clays, which would SUCK to lug around the field or woods all day. 32 inches of steel is not light...
Also, I wanted to share a recent experience with Carhartt Upland pants. I was really excited to see they offered these this year and as even happier when I saw the $70 price tag. First day of hunting in them EVERY thorn went right through. I was super pissed. By the end of the day the double/ outer fabric was totally chewed up. Ridiculous. They obviously didn't product test them at all, at least not in real world NW bird hunting conditions. Anyway the store took them back, but the punk at the counter made it out to be my fault and had ZERO interest my feedback. He even wrote the return code of "didn't want them" which I saw on the receipt. I'd imagine someone at HQ would want to know, but with people like that working at their stores, they will for sure never get the feedback. Hoping to save you all the hassle. Back to my trusty double tin pants, though they are very very warm for this early fall season.
