You learned more than I did the first season! Nice read.

I was a mile and half in and my head was throbbing so bad I wanted to leave the dang thing there.

Definitely thinking about going back to the Reddot. Gonna look around and see if they make some sort of rubber donut protector though.

Last bird I worked did the same thing.....i knew what I needed to do but convinced myself he would come in. He didn't and had I stood up and walked 10 yards his direction he would have took a dirt nap.

....

But I got the bastard (I think). I've been after this one bird on some public ground for three years. There have Always been closer birds to fill my tag with but this year I went after him pretty hard. He roosts on a giant ridge overlooking a 30 acre meadow and the world belongs to him. I missed him...

Ssssssoollddd....someone beat me to it

I second a Dawkins, his stoned aluminum in plastic pot is nasty! I'll third this!! A call that will flat out get it Sent from somewhere deep in West By God Thanks everyone, with all the shout outs for Darrin it's hard not to start there. I just got off the phone with him and he's gonna hook me up. ...

You could always go the "store bought" route & get a Super Aluminator. I've carried 1 for many years & it has helped bring in many birds. Lol, that's what's in my vest right now. I lost the one I really liked and had a spare. Dunno if it's in my head or what but I can't get the ne...

Hello all you tired turkey hunters With seasons wrapping up I'm looking to go ahead and upgrade for next year. I've wanted a really good box call for a long time and have no idea on where to start. Any suggestions on who makes a sweet sounding box call? I'm looking for one that will be used almost e...

Update: it cycled today with only two shells in the gun rather than 3/4. I can work with that!

I'm roll crimping. Already trim about the max I can and still get a crimp. Might have to try fold crimper, but dunno that I wanna tear down the 15 ish shells I've got loaded!

Any other sx3 shooters have this problem? I bought a Winchester sx3 longbeard a couple years ago and I having a hell of a time trying to get it to cycle in the second shell after a shot. I shoot reloaded 3 1/2 inch fiocchis and they eject just fine but it rarely cycles a second shot after the first ...

Open it up! You need about 70/ 80 of those 10 inch hits in the 20. It'd still be tight enough to kill em as far as TSS will kill, and you'll kill more close birds/birds you would otherwise whiff at because of a rushed shot. I shoot a browning trap special, in my Sx3. It's open at close ranges and a ...

That's awesome. A bird like that would cost me some money!

I was thinking about that actually. Kind of a specialty sneak & peak. Never called to one with the intent to keep in him place before. At least not when I was the shooter

So yesterday I had the day off and told myself that I was going to kill a turkey. Daylight had me face off with a pasture gobbler. He won. At 11:00, I ran into a silent tom. He won. About 3:30 p.m., and after miles under the boots and a nap under a pine tree, I finally happened into two strutters in...

I'm up to 7 Cuddeback LR Infrared, ranging from 0-4 years old; no problems yet. Glad ya got the lemons

I've been piecing together a new gun build. Pretty sure I just bought a nikon turkeypro scope off ebay that was listed by another forum member (sgt. catfish anyone?) that two others were watching. Almost got into a bid war with another two guys on the same model

Yesterday the wife and I went joy driving on a property I can hunt. Halfway in, a jake or tom hit the road and ran in front of us for about 50 yards. He hit the woods and then another one popped out and ran past where his buddy went another 100 yards and went in the woods on the opposite side. I sto...

I've got it bad this year. Even worse then last. Applied for a fall permit draw on a local area last year thinking it would ease the pain a bit but couldn't bring myself to lay the hammer down on the little blueheads staring at me. After that, I spent a week looking for a bachelor flock to no avail....

Is it turkey season yet?

Dink.

Is it just me or does she seem concerned?
