this deer changed everything for me, but I didn't kill it 2010 my wife missed a mega giant, first thing in the morning, her Bennelli jammed and it was game over missed at 7:30 she was ready to give up hunting, absolutely depressed, but after a quick coffee, she grabbed her dads Rem 870 12g and back we went....good thing, 12:00 this guy came buy and now he has a new home watching your wife have success on a deer hunt is awesome, I have never been that happy hunting, and the only thing that can top that is watching my daughters do it in a couple years

@ 25yards it puts a hole the size of a tennis ball, a bead can cover the hole head, a scope helps be more precise

I use a 1.5-4X scope on mine my gun shoots way to tight of a pattern, the scope is a must, plus comes in handy when shooting left handed

you're lucky, only one obsession I went to the shed yesterday to pull out my turkey decoys I had to dig through, 100 fishing poles, 50 crow decoys, a pile of coyote decoys, a couple deer decoys

great pic, and good luck that's a nice bird the turkey numbers are way down in my area to, 1 farm that produces 2 to 3 long beards every year has yet to show any forms of life

the old girl is ready, not the best pics, browning BPS 10G

great story, great hunt and great memory My girls both tag along every year, and I can't wait until they can carry a gun

I place mine sideways turkeys have great eyes, however it's quit commin for them to not see your decoy, especially in the woods, so I turn them sideways, hoping a larger veiw will help

last year I was at dicks when a guy asked the clerk what the difference was between a regular rifle round and a short action magnum, clerk told him it was for hunting dangerous game and you could chamber another round faster....I almost fell over laughing

awesome....congrats

congrats....

pull your choke out and make sure you have the rite one in there, at 15 yards you should have a golf ball size hole

very cool, it's funny to think how many of us walk by this kind of stuff and never notice, great find

REALLY?????? PLEASE tell me this is a joke None of mother nature's animals should be treated unfairly.....think we just smoked out another ANTI

you need to read it AGAIN, you ARE dead wrong, you said you need a permit which you don't I proved that Owners and lessees and members of their immediate families actually occupying..... OR... cultivating IF IT IS IN YOUR YARD SHOOT IT.....totally legal what you're talking about is shooting something in AG fields...different than shooting something in your yard

it's like fighting with a liberal.... coyotes or fox injuring private property may be taken by the owner......yes you can shoot out of season IF a nuisance

O.K...let's skip all the BS in the middle evan if the guy was in NY? he would still be legale coyote comes in his yard...nuisance ... yes was staring at his cat...menaceing...yes it was a legale kill.... I'm not for poaching or hunting out of season, but there's a big difference between an agriculture feild and your mowed lawn....any animal seen as a threat in my yard is DONE

That's funny .... I'll be laughing all day

you are dead wrong Environmental Conservation § 11-0523. Destructive or menacing wildlife; taking without permit. 1.

i can honestly say, I have no problem getting them close however, I do have a browning BPS 10g with a custom sleeved barrell that will kill them dead at 60yards, I don't like to shoot them that far, but sometimes it's easy to misjudge in an open feild, and better to be safe then sorry.

grow, my wife is deathly afraid she can't move when she sees one, we had a couple in the house, and she lost it

I definately don't want april hunting I beleive that is a bad idea I definately remember the old days 1 before the 15th and 1 after or both after I do wish people would take predator control a little more serious, as that would help us all not just fox and coyote, but the others, raccoon opossums and crow

I agree 99.9%, with the exception of a stable flock, numbers show the last 2 season poult survival has been down, and the number of hens not brooding, has gone up slightly the late 90's early 2000's were amazeing raccoons and oposoms are bad....crows are a real problem to, and often over looked

I think weather has more impact on hunters than turkeys, with a brain the size of a peanut, they don't have the ability to think, maybee I will wait a couple weeks for it to warm up the fact remains turkey population is down, and I don't see it coming back to where it once was with the number of predators on the rise, turkey numbers are going to stay down,
