    Optics' Place in Turkey Hunting

    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...

    My comparison: Trijicon Tenmile HX vs. Vortex Razor LHT vs Vortex DB Tactical

    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...

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

    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...

    Ozonics/Ozone generator and clothing in the treestand

    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...

    Newb tips?

    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...

    Turkey load?

    I’ll take TSS every single day of the week. I can only kill 2 birds a year. Check zero with lead and 1 TSS shell to confirm POI.

    The best vest-less system for turkey hunting (imo)

    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

    Is the Expen$$$ive Turkey ammo worth it?

    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.

    Charles Daly

    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...

    Charles Daly

    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...

    Turkey gun for Son (8)

    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

    Is the Expen$$$ive Turkey ammo worth it?

    TSS isn’t sporting at all. Only real men hunt with an atlatl.
