    New Turkey Gun.......gimme your thoughts

    I agree with the above - 20ga, red dot, TSS #9. Its the easy button and the turkey version of the tikka 223/rokslide special.

    What has actually quit on you in the field?

    Had the same thing happen but with an R700. I have also seen the tang safety lock up in the safe position on two separate Mossberg 500's, both mid-hunt.

    Who hunts with sub 20 inch "tactical" shotgun for turkey?

    My buddy hunts with the 18" Winchester SXP Defender. It looks ridiculous and kicks like a mule with TSS, but also kills turkeys just fine.

    Long Term Repercussions of Sports

    3 years of youth football, 5 years of youth basketball, played baseball from age 4 to 21 and D1 in college. Also raced motocross from about 6-10 years old. In hindsight I could have done without the football and motocross. Hard to do either without repeated hits to the head, even at those young...

    Your shortest recovery

    Have had a few go less than 20. Oddest I can remember was a doe I shot at about 25 yds from a treestand, she just walked slowly to the base of my tree and tipped over.

    20 Gauge Turkey Gun Set Ups

    Mossberg SA-20 Turkey with a Carlson .575 choke. Have been using Apex Turkey Ninja (8.5's) the last few seasons, although I bought some 9's to try out for this year. I'm not expecting a big difference but it will cure my boredom for now.

    Flying with Pelican 1750 or SKB Rifle Case?

    Had a similar experience flying United two years ago with the SKB double which was well under 50 lbs. I was threatened with the oversized fee due solely to the size of the case itself, but was not actually charged. The woman made sure to tell me she was doing me a favor and could charge me if...

    Politics in high school sports

    Just to echo what everyone else has said, all your boy can do is work hard, be a good teammate and perform when he gets his chance. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I was in a similar situation my soph year. In the fall I outperformed all the returning outfielder upperclassmen...

    MD Sika Trip

    Good info here. I hunt the eastern shore a few times a year, usually hear bugles but never specifically targeted them. My buddy killed a sika last year hiking into his spot, stag was standing 20 yards off the trail completely oblivious. I dont see how you can get any luckier.

    big agnes

    Ive got a blacktail 2 and think its solid for the price - if I backpacked more I would probably pay more for something lighter. With that being said I have rode out some gnarly storms in the blacktail without issue.
