    how long of barrel on a turkey gun

    A long barrel .410 with standard velocity load doesn't even ring your ears. A short barrel 12ga with high velocity is just a dose of regret. Turkey hunting is much easier with good hearing. I'll be glad when someone makes a lightweight .410 suppressor. You could probably come in under 5# with a...

    The 6mm of turkey calls

    Dif'rent strokes. I can affect a bird with a trumpet in terms of directionality, if that is a word, I can't do with anything else. And it's very convenient. But if it doesn't fit your style then why bother. I don't think a really good mouth caller needs anything else. As and aside, I have a...

    The 6mm of turkey calls

    That's hilarious.I mean in the lol not sarc way. But, you know, internet and all. Not sure why y'all want to turn this into a thread about threads. Maybe make a thread about making threads about threads?

    White cysts on wild turkey, eat it?

    When in doubt, throw it out. I practically live off wild game and fish. We hesitate not at second to throw something out.

    how long of barrel on a turkey gun

    Most 12ga users by far still shoot lead. 2oz of Pb #5s are 350 pellets. 2oz of T9s are 660 pellets. Nearly doubling the pellets will for sure help fill in a pattern. I set to a gobbler from in front of a tree or dense brush. Turkeys are more apt to notice predators lurking behind or in than in...

    Hey lefties: ping me if interested in our Tikka builds

    I don't know that I'll keep it, but the Beretta BRX-1 will be mine as soon as I sell one of my LH A-Bolts. Just gotta try it. The quick change bolt is part of it. The last gun I bought is a KelTec RDB. I swapped sides on the charging handle just because. These are not perfect, but they are...

    Hey lefties: ping me if interested in our Tikka builds

    I'm all for it, but to be forthright I must admit I'm losing interest in handed guns. Ambi is the future.

    12” Grendel bullet

    I've eaten a lot of venison courtesy a 20” Grendel. It works very well. If you're having problems, and are using Hornady ammo, that's Hornady inconsistency rather than the cartridge. The Grendel is excellent when used appropriately. 12” is more focused on fashion and tasks other than deer...

    Thoughts on using a ground blind with shotgun?

    It's common. I kust hunted the way I would if I were doing a quick morning hunt. And remember you're out to have fun with the kid. It's more like when you were a kid yourself playing cowboys and Indians. We're lifelong hunters because we love being in the woods, not because of dead critters. My...

    The “mobile hunting” push, vs. the lack of LW/packable whitetail clothing and equipment?

    A twenty something hunter hanging from a tree saddle with a 6mm ARC is 100% a victim of marketing. Most public land hunters hunt public because they can't afford private. Their budget doesn't cover high end gear. Those who can afford are riding ATVs to permanent stands. These comments refer...

    The 6mm of turkey calls

    You're lost. There's already a thread for that. This thread is about the worst of the turkey calls.

    Stevens 301 + .410 TSS + Red Dots for Turkey

    Tungsten pellets score bores and bang up chokes. You can use a stout wad and add a mylar liner, but the occasional pellet will still get loose and score the bore.

    Stevens 301 + .410 TSS + Red Dots for Turkey

    Weight saving only. You can get a light load for any gauge to reduce recoil. The cost of lightweight is a smaller pattern and somewhat finicky shells. You.can get a 1.25 oz 12ga TSS load which will be pleasant to shoot and easier to get along with than .410.

    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    Turkeys use gobbling to get together for mating. The increase in mating from letting hens know where it is, selects for gobbling. If it doesn't gobble it's either looking at a hen, changing location or aware of a violent actor close by. Violent includes both predators and other male turkeys...
