Hunted 5:30 to 7:30 heard a gobble at 5:45 then again around 6:30. Way off in the distance, that was it. Great sunrise!
-
Day 3...this is strange here. Not a single gobble or turkey seen so far this season. Still nice to be out here though. Good luck to all out there
-
Headed out in a few. No wind and clear should be a good morning! I have three hours to hunt before work. Hope to get it done!

I’m shooting 20 gage 3” mag turkey load full choke
- Last week
-
I threw away the box it came in and there are no markings on the target itself, I am pretty sure it was purchased at a Runnings store, they stock and sell a lot of steel targets. Al

Turkey choke is the way to go. I pattern at 40 yards, using 1 inch grid paper. Needs to be a minimum of 2 pellets in each square for me to be happy. Usually a lot more, using my 3 and 1/2 inch number 7 Hevi-shot.
-
At least you guys are out there. I'm not able to get back into the woods until Monday- if the weather holds.
-
Wont hurt to try a turkey choke to see how much better it would be at that range or if you have a 35-40 yard shot

Looks like the catering supplies for Willie Nelson's 91st birthday celebration.

Ok so I set a target up at 27 yards the number 4 s 2-3/4 only had like 2 pellets in the head The number 5s 3” mag pic below Should I try a turkey choke or ? thx
-
Not to go off topic but can you kill a Turkey at 40 yards not hitting him in the neck or head?
-
I had a Tom walk up the clover field gobbling around 6 PM last night. Crossed the road and my corn field. Let out the dogs at 6:30 and he blowing up in my field. I'll hunt tomorrow. Good luck guys!
-
At it again. The birds were nonexistent in my area yesterday and no gobbles so far again this morning. Off work until May 7 and still so nice to be out here watching the woods wake up.
-
The gun should tell you whether you need a turkey choke by patterning it. If you can get an even pattern and a minimum of 100 pellets in a 10” circle at 40-yds, you’re good to go. 100 pellets seems to be the sport’s standard and I use it. In addition, I would not assume one brand of shot is better than another without patterning. Some guns could be finicky with the load size and amount going down the barrel. Bottom line: Pattern your gun. Good luck to you [emoji256]

So I’m seeing lots of birds on my trail cam I want to use my 20ga 1187 3” mag with 28” bird barrel I have a full choke tube , do I need a turkey choke ? I have 2-3/4 “ 4 Shot Remingtons or Kent 3” number 4 and 5 shot Turkey , assume the Kent’s would be best ? Should I camo wrap my gun or doesn’t it really matter ? Thanks for the help This pic is from the other day

I had 7 deer come by the decoys. A button buck spent a half hour trying to figure them out. After they left a tom with three hens came across the corn field. I shot at 40 yards. 3" nitro shot. Hens flew off but the Tom did not follow and flew off in another direction. I looked for 2 hrs but found nothing. Had 5 jakes going crazy an hour later but could't get close enough. It was a good morning!
-
I had a hen at 10 yards of my decoys , but not Toms behind her. I did hear lots of gobbling. I did notice that there was a lots of pressure around me. Crazy because I would expect that on Saturday but not on Wednesday. Congrats to those who punched thier tag.

I had a chance to trade a hundred bales of hay for a trio of 2 year old Red Bourbons a while back. Didn't figure the turkeys were worth 300, and I don't have to feed the hay.
