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

    I use a Knight & Hale Run-n-gun 200. All my calls are secured and easy to get to. I would lose my calls in a set up like the OP.

    Newb tips?

    Box call for the wind when you need to be loud. Slate when it's not windy. A diaphragm for that last cluck or purr when they're close and you can't move. Hard to shoot with a call in your hand. Don't over call. If they are cutting the distance to you let them come, they know where you're at.

    Turkey load?

    I've killed a lot of turkeys with Winchester Long Beard XR. My old 870 patterns them really well. Never seen the need for TSS. I like to see how close I can get them, not how far I can shoot them.

    Hunting clothes

    As someone else said, watch the Rokslide classifieds and save some money. Lots of "never worn" or "worn once" at good discounts. I primarily use Sitka and Kuiu and I have not paid full price for anything. Kuiu has some good sales and Sitka "discontinued" sales are the way to go.

    First Time Hunter - Northeast

    Get out in the woods and have fun. You'll make mistakes, we all have. That's how you learn. Gutting a deer is not brain surgery, just be careful and try not to puncture the bladder or the stomach or you'll lose a little meat. Just keep pulling and cutting until everything is out. I gutted my...

    Useful life of a scope?

    I don't think I've ever worn out a scope, but the newer coatings do improve light gathering. I still use an old Leupold VX2 3-9x40 that's 30+ years old on one of my guns and it still does what I need it to do for whitetails.

    Eastern Oklahoma outfitter recommendations for Whitetail Hunting

    Were they thinking about cutting the bag limit on non-residents or everyone? Based on the population on our place {SW Oklahoma), cutting the bag limit would be one of the dumbest decisions they could make. We're killing two does for every buck we take and we are not making a dent in the number...

    Eastern Oklahoma outfitter recommendations for Whitetail Hunting

    If you're thinking about Oklahoma, be aware that a bill has passed and is being sent to the governor that raises non-resident deer tags substantially.

    Knife woes

    I initially thought it might be too small but it's not. I actually like the smaller size after using it a few times. Lot easier to do the detail work with than a bigger blade.

    Knife woes

    I questioned the size of the blade on the Benchmade Hidden Canyon but after using it on a black bear and four whitetails it's my go to knife.

    Sitka Dew Point Set

    I haven't used the pants, but I've been pleased with the Dewpoint jacket (2022 version). It's kept me dry and does a great job breaking the wind. It's not quiet but if I'm using it, it's either raining or blowing hard so I don't care about the noise. Packs down small and has a permanent place in...

    Hogs

    They definitely work. We back up a trailer, load them up and sell them to a high fence place. Try to recoup some of the money they’ve ate out of our protein feeders and turkey feeders.
