Don't try to put your plug in an 870 in tall grass. The spring will jump out of your hand, and you will not be able to find it. Others will shoot their limit while you are looking for a spring. You will eventually get frustrated and begin shooting single shot.

What's a Plug?  It's a square thing about the size of a deck of cards that you take a bite of and chew on it. BTW it tastes like chit...…... That's the good stuff......  Days Work and Brown's Mule.

You don't want to draw attention to yourself as the 'drunk' guy in the group so I follow Cosmo Kramer's advice. Hennigan goes down smooth, and afterwards, you don’t even smell.

purell, gloves, grocery bags, rolled up orange socks... all useful in the field. (the socks are to be dropped when you get a shot in heavy grass so you have a reference point to search from)

Dragonflies are easier to hit if you use a cylinder choke.
