This Week Benelli on Assignment Goes After Florida Quail and DC Ducks

ACCOKEEK, MARYLAND - This week BOA host Joe Coogan and Stoeger product manager, Keith Heinlein join outdoor writer, Greg Rodriguez and freelance photographer Lance Bertolino to challenge fast-flushing, quick-flying bobwhite quail with sub-gauge guns, including Stoeger's Condor and Uplander in .410 and 28-gauge, as well as Franchi's Renaissance and 48AL, both in 28-gauge. Hunting the prime quail habitat of the Treasure Coast Hunt Club, near Palm City, Florida with expert dog man, Bill Jacobs, this is the perfect place for trying different styles and sizes of shotguns. Greg Rodriquez's article will appear in the November 2009 issue of Shooting Times.

Coogan then heads to his own backyard in Maryland to hunt sea ducks with friend and former National Geographic staff writer, Doug Lee and waterfowl photographer, Scott Moody on the historic Potomac River. Scaup, scoters, long-tail ducks and buffleheads are the order of the day for Mid River Guide Service guide, Capt. Bob Wetherald, who specializes in big-water rigs for divers. This hunt puts the Benelli 3 ½-inchers, Super Black Eagle II and Super Nova pump gun, to the test. Look for Lee's article and Moody's excellent photos in the September/October 2009 issue of Shooting Sportsman Magazine.
