Gobbler Nation

Best I recall, the bottom barrel shot about 4" lower than the top one. Never had to shoot the bottom one at a turkey because they have always dropped with the first shot. I'll try to get the time to shoot it again before long and get a pattern and regulation.

2 Briley XF chokes and a FF2 mounted on the rib. 40 yd gun with Hal's 13/16 load of 9.5.

I'll see if I can find a pic of the pattern, but it's been a while since I did that so I'm not sure I can.

Kills 'em dead....

Still flies are what I've always called them. They don't sting.

Jim "GobbleNut" Bates nailed it IMO. I do believe the southeast and Atlantic coastal east was widely populated with what we now call the Osceola turkey and once mostly eliminated, the land was re-stocked with what we now call the Eastern turkey. We kill plenty of Osceola looking turkeys here in SW G...

My mentor for both turkey hunting and call making was Charles Hudson of Travelers Rest SC. I worked with him as his only employee in his backyard shop for about 2 years around 79-80 and listened to him call almost every day while we worked on import cars (mostly VW bugs). We discussed turkeys and tu...

I think there are some using that for deer...way more than needed for yotes.

You "can" get a good sounding new Lynch but most likely you won't. If you want that style and the sound that made them famous then go with Allen Jenkins...

Congrats to you and your wife!!

I can see where it is a huge advantage in the 20 gauge but im just thinking if you are going to shoot a 2 1/2 oz load why not shoot 8 or 7 shot. honestly probably still same pellet count as a 20 It's not a question of "why not" but rather "why should you" and the answer is there is no reason you sh...

Nitro is duplexing told me it holds the shot together for tighter patterns I can't confirm this but could that be true? I honestly believe that is a sales pitch, I can't see how duplexing shot sizes could possibly keep the shot string together better. If I were to ever load TSS for a 10 gauge I wou...

IMO 9 is the ultimate TSS shot size and that doesn't change simply because the gauge does. Only exception to that is 10 is possibly better if shooting a 410 in order to keep up the pattern out to 40 which is about the farthest I'd shoot 10's anyway.

Getting on the plane to head down there Sunday. Different outfitter but probably the same general area. We will be hunting around Yecora, Sonora. I'll try to avoid the revenge...

He's still making calls. I don't have his number but I normally contact him through Facebook.

Can't help but it looks pretty unique so someone should be able to ID it most likely.

Years.

Picked these up after Tom Knapp "missed" them. Who'd a thought you could shoot like him ? [emoji16]

Contact Kevin Farr of PeckerWrecker turkey calls.

It said I could choose up to 5 options...so I did Picked all 5.

Bumped up SNM again. Still a lot of TBD but did read a little more on the web site. Realistically the altitude may be a little much for me at this stage of life. Did a weather check on Cloudcroft NM. Surprised it is so mild this time of year. At least it seems to be this 7 day forecast. The altitud...

Spoke with Ryan (via text) yesterday and he said he fills his limited spots pretty quickly with repeat hunters and referrals so has not been trying to maintain the website lately.

He has openings for 2019 and I'll be there for the opener!
