Nice!

That will do it!

I have a soft spot for the 1300.

Happy Birthday!

You have to love an afternoon Tom that is lonely!

I hear you on that! I like them 12-16 yards with the open barrel and 30-35 yards with the tight barrel.

Gil, that was a very kind gesture!

I don’t hunt public much but when I do, I try to treat others how I wish they would treat me. Wide berth, offer to hunt together at the gate, etc.

I think that Cynergy is ready to roll!

It is a must watch for all turkey hunters.

I found it oddly emotional.

You won’t regret that!

There’s at least a 2-1/2 ounce load and I believe a 2-5/8 ounce load I’ve seen guys shooting.

Looking Good!

Good stuff!

I always reference the same couple of hunts when I get asked this. #1. The first double with my grandfather. #2. These are two old gobblers that ran together. My grandfather and his older brother hunted them 2 seasons and kept getting fooled by them. Late in April the second season, I asked if I cou...

Win Supreme 3.5” 4,5,6’s
Fed Premium 3.5” 5’s
Nitro Ray 2x5x7’s
Hevi Mag Blend 3.5”

I always liked the Indian Creek 675, Mad Maxx 675, and Jellyhead 690 in the 835.

I’m quite sure Sumtoy would work well if he’d just call William and tell him what he wants to shoot. William will build the right choke for him.

Unfortunately, kids that are interested in the outdoors are pretty rare these days. If the opportunity presents itself I’m always happy to jump on it but it’s been a few years. Use to be easy to find a kid wanting to go. Now it seems like if it doesn’t involve a smart phone, they are just not inter...

You won’t regret the FF4.

I’ve been through this and never had anyone have trouble understanding which bird or to actually shoot the wrong bird.

I have had some one shoot early on the count though

Nice!

That is exactly like my youth 870 20 gauge! I got it either in 1996 or 1998, can’t remember if I was 8 or 10, but we’ve walked a lot of miles and killed a whole bunch of critters together!

I would buy the 575.

I’ve shot a Carlsons 575, a truglo GSX, and a SumToy 562 in my 21”. The SumToy was awesome with Hevi 6’s but too tight for me with TSS. I stuck with the Carlsons 575.

Man that’s a nice package!

I personally wouldn’t go with a 640 choke for TSS in that gun.

Indian Creek 660 or 665
SumToy (William would know what size)

Those are the two I’d consider. Proven results time and again.

What gun is he using?

What choke does he currently use?
