The socialist/ communist's are counting on you giving up your guns voluntarily. After they get the ammo, guns, black Powder, crossbows, compounds, traditional, then they will take your knives. No hunting for you comrade. Only the party leaders will go afield. You will be building solar panels and drinking government vodka.

Not taking anything out on you just pointing out that not everyone lives where you do and has the time and skill set to reload all the ammo they want. I have a home in Florida that I use to buy all the ammo I want. But not everyone has a second home in a free state. So you and I have unique circumstances that not everyone else has. I work hard to keep the 850 members of my club in ammo so they can enjoy our clay venues. It’s a daunting task.

Well for the rest of us who don’t own all the guns we want, don’t reload and don’t live close to the PA boarder these new laws are unconstitutional, un-American and a huge pain in the ass. I want to be able to walk into a store near me and buy a firearm and ammo any time I damn well please. And why shouldn’t I?!

Can’t buy ammo in CT or MA. CT does have a non resident ammo license. I don’t know about MA.

Remington 7600 or 750 Both in 35 Whelen and both with 250 grain bullets.

I agree with your assessment of more turkey hunters and the young kids really love the public hunting guys. But I have never seen anyone using the fan to stalk a turkey. Another part of the equation is turkey guns and ammo have gotten way better since the ‘80’s. We can talk about only shooting out to 40 yards but no one is listening. Two of my crew have crossed the 60 yard mark, hevi shot and Long Beards, and there is no way to put the genie back in the bottle. I truly love spring turkey hunting. I want to see the birds rebound. I personally would be ok with no fall season and only one gobbler in the spring. But I understand others disagree.

Yes. There are 2.6 billion out there already. If we can’t prosecute felons why should we prosecute mineral rock users which are in common usage.

Well I can’t argue that we have way too many varmints. I started turkey hunting in the late ‘80’s. Not many guys turkey hunting then. Covid really peaked the number of hunters.

I hunt in 4P and 4R. Turkey numbers are way down. I would vote to close the fall completely and limit the spring to one in my area. Can’t speak for the rest of the state. Deer hunters in the fall kill turkeys with the gun and bow.

Don’t forget to get written permission from every landowner you hunt on. If you trespass with a firearm you will charged with a felony and loose your guns.

I’m hoping that my friends and myself don’t get locked up for violating one of these new unconstitutional gun laws while hunting this year.

Rifles not shotguns.

My personal opinion is 1,200 bucks sounds way too cheap for that gun. But to me 3k is too much. I would say the value would be in the 2k range maybe a bit better. But those are wild ass guesses from me. Put it on GB for 3k and see what happens.

I spoke to the guy who said he knew the value of these guns and he said only 1,200 bucks for your friends gun. Sounds cheap to me but IDK. I know a store will give you nothing. I still say shotgunworld.com and trapshooters.com are the best places to get a value. Sorry all I can come up with. Mike.

There are two on GB right now. One 3k and the othe 3k+. But both are custom. One has a English stock and the other has been engraved. I do have a friend I will ask.

Try selling it on shotgun world or trap shooters. Obviously both sites would have more traffic looking to buy expensive shotguns. The Rugers although not popular when they were manufactured have a cult following now that they are discontinued.

View from the hunting camp.

No you missed the point. You got it backwards.

I love the outdoors and I love firearms. That’s why archery does not appeal to me much. I like guns. I grew up with cowboy movies, Guns and Ammo, Outdoor Life, and other Magazines. Walking with a rifle or shotgun in my hand is Thrilling to me. And I love the kill. It’s in my DNA, it’s visceral it’s who I am. Edited to add: I don’t hunt for meat. I can afford to buy meat. I think saying I hunt only for the meat is the new virtue signaling among deer hunters. I eat what I shoot but I also shoot for horns.

If all the yotes died I would not feel bad.

Why can’t you own one?

Hell at our age who wants to drag a bigger one?? Good job.

You are good to go. 223 kills deer. Enjoy. Fidelis Ad Mortem

I always found that guys have some personal attachment for the type and caliber rifle they hunted with. Hell we all know most Centerfire rifle cartridges will kill a whitetail deer. And any style action will get the job done. I always was a Remington auto guy and loved the 30-06 cartridge. But after reading all the Benoit’s books and watching all their videos I switched to the pumps. And now I shoot the 35 Whelen quite a bit followed by the 35 Remington. In my deer camp guys use pumps, bolts, auto’s, and levers. And I’ve seen deer killed with 223, 243, 7mm-08, 270, 270 WSM, 7mm mag, 30-30, 308, 30-06, 300 Win mag, 35 Rem, 35 Whelen, and some I probably forgot. They all died. Some faster than others. Only deer we ever lost was with a black powder once and a Xbow once. Pick one and shoot the shit out of it. Happy Thanksgiving and happy hunting.

Hunting the ADK’s the only rifle to use is a Remington 7600 pump. Unfortunately Remington is not making them at this time and they are expensive right now. I hunted for many years with a 742 and then a 7400. My guess is the bolt was out of battery.
