Gobbler Nation

Every turkey is killable. You just have to be there at the right time, and right place.

I bought several boxes of this ammunition (2 3/4" at 1 3/8 oz). I will be running it through a Remmy 870 21". Some of the chokes that I currently have are Tightwad, SSX, Carlson's TSS, Sumtoy 562-5, Carlson's Longbeard, Kick's .560, Carlson's .575, and Remington Super Full. Where would you...

I just ordered 4 boxes of the Apex LT-20 rounds, and now I need a turkey choke for this little gun. What do you guys reccomend? TIA.

I am sorry for asking, but I can't find where to change my password. TIA.

Congrats on a nice bird!

I haven't tagged out on longbeards in KY for the last 16 years because I was sane and wasn't possessed! I have been threatened for divorce several times!

Glad to have you Ridgerunner!

I want it, and the T-shirt!

I bet at 40.01 it goes to pieces tho

Y'all ain't right!

I have been looking at three rifles in the .260 Rem. They are the Savage 16 Long Range Hunter, Savage (10 I think) Predator Max, and the Remington Model 7. I was hoping I could get some of you fellows opinions on those three choices. I also wouldn't mind a Tikka T3 Lite in the 6.5x55, or one of the ...

I have grown to love the short action rounds. The only thing that has pushed me towards the 6.5 Swede is case capacity, especially when it comes to reloading. Everything I have read, has said that the 6.5x55 would be able to handle heavier bullets better. Another thing is ammo availability. I though...

My arm is wrapped up like that alot of nights in the winter too, but I have a Playboy subscription. Seriously, hang in there.

From what I have heard from Winchester reps themselves, the advantage gained from the .270 WSM is not as great as the .300 WSM as far as recoil reduction, accuracy, and BC goes. I know I had a Savage 16 weather warrior in .300 WSM and it was bad news, but I traded it in for one of my old favorites. ...

kygobbler, is that for the fall season only? I thought .22 and above caliber was legal too. LOL. But seriously, why would you want to use bigger than #4 shot? JMO.

Kill that quail, rabbit, squirrel, and grouse killing son of a b@$%ch!

That is a great buck no doubt and I would shoot him in a heartbeat, but like crenshawco said, that deer will never go 170." A basic 9 point with one drop, I say around 150", at best, by looking at the picture. Like I said, dead in my neck of the woods, but you need to have someone else sco...

Ssshhh!! You meant Tennessee. Or Illinois. Or Indiana. Or Illinois. Or Ohio. Maybe Missouri. LOL. Anyways, a nice buck no doubt!

Sorry Spuriosity. There are no turkeys in KY. :) Just kidding. I tagged out yesterday. Both were two year old birds. The weather really has them set back in my opinion. I am not seeing many strutters in the fields. The birds I worked Saturday and Sunday were from 10:30 a.m. on. I killed the first on...

I killed a gobbler back in 1998 on the last day of our KY season that weighed a little over 22 lbs., 11 3/4" beard, and had 1 5/8" spurs with Win. 3" HV #5s. Killed one at Ft. Campbell back in 2002 with the 10 ga. and Win. Sup. HV #4s that I can't remember the weight, had an 11" ...

Nice pattern.

















For twenty yards.

I agree that the patterns from the Longbeard XRs are impressive, as I have posted some of them on OG. The only thing I do not believe is some of the numbers some of the people have been posting on that site (and other sites). I did average about 125-130/10" circle out of the Win. LB XR #4s thro...
