Gobbler Nation

Update on the Crispi Lapponia, I wore them the first week of TN turkey season and they performed great, zero complaints. We had some nasty rainy days and my feet stayed dry. I did pair them with Kenetrek boot gaiters. Little to no break in for the Crispi's. Climbed some steep TN hills and the boots ...

Heaviest was a Tennessee gobbler 26lb10oz weighed on 2 different digital scales. Great woods hunt off the limb got between him and a his hen. Sounded like thunder when he gobbled.
Best spur was Kentucky gobbler last year. 24lb14oz with 1-5/8" spur.

Sweet sounding trumpet Brice.

I got the Grounded Impact vest but haven't worn it hunting just tried it on inside. My initial thoughts are one of the best vests I've ever tried one. I'm 6"3 195 and the fit is great. The straps hanging don't bother me. Super comfortable but I reckon time will tell. My only concern are how wil...

I have a pair of Crispi Lapponia's but I don't have flat feet. The more I wear them the better they get. I'd contact Crispi and ask about insoles. The guys at Blackovis are Crispi experts they may have some advise.

Well done sir! You a killer!

I'm 6'3" and when I setup on a turkey my hunting pants tend to ride up high on me leg and expose leg/socks so that's one reason I've always worn LaCrosse Grange.
Gaiters should help that when switching to a hiking boot.

What boot gaiters are you guys using for spring turkey season? This will be my first year trying them. I normally wear LaCrosse Grange and they have treated me well but I want more ankle support and they can run hot in warm weather. Will be wearing either Danner Pronghorns or Crispi Lapplonia's. Fig...

Gonna try the Crispi Lapponia this year for the first time. They are light weight and super comfortable.

I've wondered about Gold Hunter too. He has some old videos on YouTube about mixing buffer and patterning tss loads.
This was when hand loaders were cool.

Seriously mouth calls are like "a box of chocolates" you never know what you're gonna get. What might sound like pure turkey to one guy wont for the next. DC Customs makes a good call. Used them this year. More small name companies selling custom calls on Facebook now. American Strutter ma...

Can someone tell me what they do when they have a turkey in range but their barrel isn’t lined up for the shot? Say he’s over by the side. Do you imperceptibly move the barrel for the shot or do you swing the gun quickly over for the shot? Or is it something in between where you make a slow but del...

Hey Mike,
All is well. Hunted a few days in Tn killed 2 with the 12ga. Plan to hunt with 410 & 28 in KY if I can leave the 2oz loads at home.
Let us know how you do with the 28.
Hope all is well buddy. Stay healthy and God bless.

Way to go buddy! Congrats!

So in your opinion it will hold up for the season as long as nothing crazy happens? Yes sir absolutely buddy. I'm kind of rough on my guns with crawling and this and that just hunting you know and the mossy oak wraps holds up. Have not had an one issue. No peeling or fading. One gun has had the wra...

I've put mossy oak wraps on 2 of my shotguns and they both turned out really good. For the money they can't be beat. They look good and the material is tough.

Very nice! Congrats!

Took the Yildiz 28 to a local gunsmith gonna have trigger lightened and get rid of the creep. Will shoot bottom barrel next may use it for close shots.
If the trigger gets fixed I'll be happy. Can't wait to kill a gobbler with the 28.

Good job southpaw, and yes 410's are finicky.

Smokin pattern!

I'll check it out.

Hey hoobilly and Southern Sportsman thanks for the feedback.
I do use the cardboard osc. Given both options I'll have to figure out the best route. May try trimming hulls again.

Are there any options for fold crimping a 12ga 3.5" hull besides a MEC? I do not trim my 3.5" hulls and currently roll crimp. Some shells are okay and other too long to cycle in an auto. I've tried trimming hulls but couldn't find a consistent method. Nothing against a MEC but don't want t...
