I hope your health insurance covers shoulder surgery!

As a kid we had a single 10 gauge that we shot turkeys with. What a cannon.

Good luck!!!

Can we bounce this loser from the GN???

Price? How many days are the hunts?

Your website does not say anything about Merriam Turkey Hunts.

"If this was a human I could deal with it, unfortunately I could do nothing for our poor dog".

Wow, truer words could not have been said. Sorry for your loss.

The gun Gmed has for sale is top notch....if I was in the market I would look at that.
M2's are really nice for sure, but the Franchi's are right up there.

That's where I would start.

I would agree. I have a Franchi A3 in a compact version and the distance from the grip to the trigger is longer than any other gun I have. Apparently they contracted Arsenio Hall to design that portion of the gun. :D My theory is that the Franchi's possibly were originally made with waterfowl hunter...

If I were you and I was leaving it out in the woods I would turn it inside-out a-la Kramer and the reverse peep-hole. That way you would know if anyone was in your blind before you got in.

Just a suggestion!!!!

I can't take credit for this one...but it is something that happened to my son. He is at college in a different state with a declining turkey population and he had been scouting hard for turkeys last spring. He knew where there was one bird that was always roosted along a field and he went in early ...

Well I ordered a couple pieces of gear for this turkey season. I'm convinced it will probably make me tag out in the first 3 days of the VA season since I have 3 tags. I'll have to report back on their performance! I got these 2 things. https://www.sitkagear.com/products/equinox-guard-hoody/optifad...

I’d strap on your boots and start walking….

Mossburg 940 Pro in a 20 gauge….haven’t we discussed this before???

Drop a shot or two of fireball whiskey in there….that will
do the trick!

Looks like you got an Affinity 3, same gun as me. Try the choke you have and see how it performs. I shoot a Carlson's 0.568 LBXR and shoot Fedeal TSS. Good out past 40, no problems at 20. Plenty of pellets to kill in the 10" ring and plenty of pellets on the outside to give someone who has the ...

I got an 8, it was all they had in 2021.

My son has a 3. Go with a 3.

Just step away from the gun and collect your thoughts before you do something you will regret later...

This is the exact gun I have - Franchi Affinity 3 (compact) with a Burris FF3 on it. I bought 2 chokes. A 0.555 and a 0.568, both in the Carlson's. After shooting both LBXR shells and Federal TSS, I ended up with sticking with the 0.568 choke. The 0.555 was WAY to tight for me, I like a little room ...

: Picked up a few different brands of mouth calls. The Dead End callers in the contests all sounded superb so I bought a three pack of their calls. After looking for a vestless alternative I picked up an Alps sling pack to try this spring. Some pants on sale from Roger’s sporting goods and some Ape...

Best way is to get your boots on the ground and start hiking my friend.....good luck.

Add one vote for the Franchi......I love mine.

Good points here...but one of the comments reminded me of something. As my kids got older and were tagging along more I got to think about not only gun safet, but carrying a gun in the woods, leaning against trees, putting then in cases in the cars, keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe directly, etc...

My youngest daughter was a little recoil shy so I went the cheaper route and started her in a Stevens 301 .410. It is super light, basically no recoil and no sound. The weight is great, she can carry it, handle it properly, etc.

I would start there…..
