  1. Look at the hammock seat,best Ive used and super light and compact http://www.fanaticoutdoors.com/
  2. Same here,just like I'd shoot a albino or piebald deer as long as I had a tag for it and it was in season.....If I see a bearded pterodactyl the next time I head out that SOB is going down also!!!!HAHAHA
  3. He took his time and identified it as a bearded turkey.....how the F*** would he have mistaken it for a person,dog or any other damn animal that walks the earth????
  4. With all due respect that's a bearded turkey and legal in NY.Here's what the website says Spring Turkey SeasonIn the spring you may take two bearded birds. You may only take one bird per day. Immediately after taking a turkey, fill out the carcass tag and attach it to the bird. You do not need to save and send in turkey legs in the spring. You do need to take careful spur, beard, and weight measurements for reporting. Spur measurements: spurs should be measured from the tip of the spur to the base of the spur, where it emerges from the scaly part of the leg. Measure to the nearest 1/4 inch. Do not measure to the forward edge of the leg, only to the base of the spur. Beard Measurements: beards should be measured from the tip of the beard to the base, where it emerges from the skin. Butt the end of your ruler against the base of the beard and extend the beard along the body of the ruler. Measure to the nearest 1/4 inch. Record the weight to the nearest pound. You shouldn't slam someone for doing something legal,is it your choice not to shoot one?Yea but its his tag,his time and his choice....A LEGAL CHOICE AT THAT!!!!!
  5. Time to get rid of all the parties and just have the top 5 run.....he/she who wins....wins all others FO!!!
  6. Zag we were all just using what you put out there.Joke or not sorry I dont feel its funny because their are dweebs that do this sort of thing and think its just fine.All's well if it was a joke,carry on with the discussion!
  7. How big a piece of state land is it?I know when I go into the state lands I hunt I could walk and not hunt the same spot for the day for sure.I have gotten out of the truck went into the woods for a few hundred yards and gotten a gobbler to shock gobble and went after him.With only a few areas to park in one of my favorite spots I have no clue where other hunters are for sure.I do my best to use bins to glass a bird to see if its on decoys or not.One thing I won't do is stalk one on public ground.I try and get close(100-150 away depending on terrain) and call the bird in.
  8. Well my nephew and I hunted hard saturday we had a hell of a day in the woods coming close to quite a few gobblers,jakes and countless hens but the closest we got to sealing the deal was 70-80 yards.The last 2 years we have been down to a friends camp for the sunday of youth season that puts on a youth turkey hunt that has been very sucsesssful.We went down and got in camp last night and before dark the group of us went out and roosted some birds for the morning,after that a feast was put on for the kids,dads,uncles,friends and family. While we were eating dinner the typical hunting camp stuff was going on with stories being told.We all meet some new people shared some new techniques and then we all went to bed around 1030-1100 last night......so 4am was a real wakeup call!!!HAHA One by one we all got up and got ready for the day,ate some quick breakfast and rolled out into our discussed group.Myself and my nephew (Reed) went out with another youth hunter (Briana) and a new friend (Mike)who did the calling.He was something else behind those calls and what I learned was a real eye opening this am.We made our way to the area where we had roosted a bird the previous night and when we got to the spot he hammered off the roost like he was reading a script,only problem was the spot he was in he could very easily pitch down into 2 different fields so we chose the filed to the north.We found a spot that was full of briars and nasty stuff to set up on and I set out a strutter decoy,jake and hen.The two kids set up so one would shoot right and the other left.After we settled in he gobbled no less that 50 times from the roost and at around 100 yards away if the kids were half as excited as I was we did our jobs!!He pitched off the roost but in another field behind us,so he would have to cross a small stream and some briars to get into the shooting setup.He worked his way in behind us to about 50 yard and paced back and fourth strutting,gobbling and doing his thing.We aren't sure if the strutter or the creek kept him from coming across but he wasn't having any of it so we let him walk off to the west.Mike said "Lets let him head that way and we will try and cut him off up ahead",as soon as that was said we heard multiple gobbles to the northwest of our setup as 4 jakes came charging in.They ran right in and started throwing a beating on the jake decoy at 15 yards.Mike was with the kids with myself Reed and Briana's dad behind her,as jakes always do they bunched up and we didn't want to have one shoot 2 or 3 at one time so we waited for the best time.After a few second which seamed like minutes they had clear shots and the order was given.With all the excitement both of them missed the first shot!!!!! The second was also a swing and a miss with Reed but dropped the jake on the right with his 3rd shot!!Briana's shotgun had a malfunction with shot #2 that she cleared all by herself racking in the third shell while Reeds jake was flopping on the ground but the other 3 were in high gear going away when one decided he wanted to beat up on his friend.He turned,came back and proceeded to stomp the heck out of the flopping bird and she knocked him off with her 3rd shot.When that happened I'm pretty sure the whole lot of us were louder than the shotguns with screaming,guns were cleared and the pics,hugs and congratgulations began!! This is Briana's dad,Briana,Reed and myself a few more This is Briana,Mike and Reed And the lucky hunters walking back to camp
  9. Just want to say good luck to all the youth hunters this weekend.May your hunt be filled with excitement and hopefully a bird for your efforts.Be safe and listen to your mentors and make sure you post up some pics!!!
  10. snow -dirt.....Snirt.Its basically when the snowmobile trails are shut down to sleds and the wheelers take over
  11. This was my go too,Charles daily 3 1/2 pump.Great gun and still have it.Its what my nephew uses.ONLY downside is shooting 3 1/2 shells because its so damn light,but when a birds in front of you you wont feel it.....tilll about 15-20 mins after This is what I upgraded too a few years back. Both slam birds like the hammer of thor,Either gun shoots magblends good but they shoot longbeards a touch better.
  12. I know every am I went to listen for gobbles bofore work I have heard them this year.Today there was none and my brother inlaw said yesterday was very few.I hope not thats one of the best thing about spring hunting is waking up and hearing them roar.That really cements kids for the long day!!!
  13. I have seen totally different results,Most deer Ive shot are DRT or within 20 yard.The farthest I had one go was a small doe and she only went 60-70 yards.The holes they make are impressive.The last big deer I shot with it went 185
  14. I shoot PR bullets in mine,they also sell breach plugs and ventliners and I will be converting to there large rifle primer breach plug after he last 2 ventliners I have a worn out.Great gun you'll love it!! http://www.prbullet.com/index.htm http://www.prbullet.com/s-kit.htm
  15. I switched from heavy shot to longbeards and couldn't be happier
  16. Terry is a good dude in case anyone is on the fence here
