I’m in Georgia where we have dense foliage, especially come April-May when “green-up” has already happened.
I’ll still bring my Maven B1 8x42’s to scan power-lines, gas lines, fields or logging roads. I was able to spot & stalk 2 different Tom’s so for this season. One bird hung up at 65 yards...
Thanks for the write up.
I’m not optics expert, either. I will say that when I upgraded my Vortex Diamondback 12x50 bino’s to the Maven B1 8x42’s, the difference in optic clarity was night and day.
-I no longer get headaches glassing for long periods of time is the biggest takeaway. Across...
We can legally only kill 1 turkey per day, so a single shot is all I need. Stevens 301 and Charles Daly 101 single shots. 12 & 20 gauges
5-6# guns with red dots and slings. I’m having both barrels cut down to 18” to cut down on the length and make them better for the dense foliage I routinely...
As the title states, I’m looking for Wrangler ATG’s, Kuiu Tiburon’s, Sitka Equinox pants in size 34-36.
Preferably neutral colors, will entertain camouflage as well.
Thanks
Limbsaver AirTech butt stock upgrade over the plastic factory butt stock.
Next step the barrel gets shipped off to be chopped, threaded, polished, forcing cone lengthened and a lower mount for my Burris FF3 to replace the plastic factory pictanny mount
I was always in the “Hunt the Wind” camp.
Spent thousands of hours over the course of several years in the stand, utilizing milkweed to check my wind. Almost every time I had a mature buck pegged down with the intel from trail cameras, scouting etc.. without fail, around “closing time” the...
Patience. Patience. Patience.
You don’t have to be a phenomenal caller. Give him a couple “clucks” to let him know you’re there, gauge his interest and shut up.
I killed this bird here by sitting in a high traffic area one afternoon. Heard him gobble just above me and rather than calling...

Your setup speaks to me. I’m in the process of ditching my vest and going to some bino harness-based setup.
Possibly adding a fanny pack, but crawling with a fanny pack & bino harness is miserable.
Tell me more about that shotgun you have
I looked into loading TSS on my own but you’re absolutely correct. The price of TSS alone and how rarely I shoot TSS doesn’t even justify the investment to attempt it.
Well I ended up impulse bidding (and winning) a 12 gauge Charles Daly 101 on Gun Broker.
Figured for the price for a cerakoted, threaded and camo stock gun at $160 isn’t an awful price.
I wanted a .410 but they were all selling for $200+ so I saved about $60-80 but my shoulder on the other...
I’m looking at buying a Charles Daly 101 for a run & gun turkey shotgun. Showing sub 4.5# and overall length at 37” seems great to me.
I’ve never heard of Charles Daly shotguns- Are they decent?
Would a Stevens 301T be a better investment than a Charles Daly 101 ?
I currently own a Stevens...
My 20G 301 enjoys Federal & Apex 9’s through the factory choke
I would recommend a 410 or 20g 301 to anybody seeking a specific turkey gun. Affordable, lightweight, great trigger, compact and shoot TSS very well
