Do any of you guys hunt duck with a ported barrel ?I'm buying a shotgun that has a ported barrel & some hunters tell me I should shy away from this, they say it's too loud or too much blowback or it disturbs the hunting dogs, what do you guys think ? it's a mossberg 500 3" chamber 28" barrel 3 chokes vent rib, all the new ones i've seen are ported, @ $199.00 I thought this was a pretty good deal. any responses appreciated

(have similar post on shotgun forum, but not much response)
