Gobbler Nation

4249AA9E-592A-4876-873E-2C065E6CB6A3.jpeg I’ve been in the Black Hills since Thursday. Didn’t hear a lot of gobbling, mostly because the weather has been bad. In between wind and rain events, I managed to call in and kill a nice two-year old yesterday at around 3:00 PM. It happened pretty fast, but...

That’s a two-year old for sure. Nice job. I am headed to the Blacks Hills for the last week of the season. What were the numbers like?

Dang it, Friday looks great too...just needed the weather to hold for one more day.

It has nothing to do with the 28 gauge per se. Just use a recoil calculator and you will see that recoil is a combination of shot weight, velocity, and gun weight. When you start shooting 1.5 oz loads at 1100 fps out of a 5 pound gun you are going to get a lot of recoil. You will get as much recoil ...

Great posts MKW and GKS!

hoobilly, I pray that you are right.

The future of our great Republic hangs in the balance. This is a fight to the death. If Trump defeats these traitorous thugs, the Republic may be saved, but it’s our last chance. If the deep state takes him out, I don’t think we will ever get our Republic back.

Wow, that’s impressive! You are very talented. That is a well-written and well-performed song.

Here is another one with the 28 gauge.

Count me in if it’s not too late.

Here is a Montana bird taken by my wife. It’s the first kill for the 28 gauge Beretta Silver Pigeon using 1 3/8 oz. TSS #9 1/2. The call is a Marlin Watkins fiddle paddle in bloodwood over wormy butternut. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190426/e92d5ab7e66403c4a002e1083eb7ba30.jpg Sent from my iP...

Ohhh, I’d like to...BANG...ZOOM!

Count me in - thanks!

Those should be awesome turkey killers! That is an amazing amount of shot in a 28 gauge.

Sometime before April 13 - that’s when the Montana turkey season opens.

Any plans for a 28 gauge load? I recently had cataract eye surgery, and I’m a little worried about the recoil from my 12 gauge, 3 inch, 2 oz. reloads. I don’t have time to get set up for reloading 28 gauge this year.

That call is for my son. The blue is for the unit colors. Scott did a fantastic job on this, and he is great to work with. I whole-heartedly endorse him if you want a great call. Thanks again, Scott!

I have never hunted private land and probably never will, at least here in Montana. I like the challenge of killing hard hunted public land birds. Here in Montana, birds on private land can get pretty “barnyardy”.

I discovered TSS reloading here - thanks Hawglips!

I much prefer forums over facebook. Thanks for a great site!

And, of course, I missed one on the last day. With my new super, duper TSS loads of all things. But the gun and load can only do so much - the man behind the gun has to do his job, and I didn’t. That gun and load had 70 and 50 yard kills this year, then I missed at 30.

Down year here in eastern Montana - bad winter must have hurt bird numbers.

I’ve been here 35 years - best place in the world to live, but don’t tell anyone.
