  1. Cant agree more! I couldn’t care less if I ever kill another turkey but bringing my daughter last year was by far my favorite hunt ever! The year before my ex girlfriend got her first bird was a close 2nd. Hopefully tomorrow we can get on a bird, daughter says she’s in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Good luck to everyone! Mine still hasn’t decided if she wants to go or not yet. I’ve never pushed her to hunting and not going to start today but if she decides tonight or in the morning all our gear has been ready for a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Only good part is when they die she’ll have time for another batch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. It doesn’t get shot much but my 358-300wsm isn’t bad to shoot. I bought a few hundred cases of 300wsm that have been fire formed and I shoot the same 225 Barnes ttsx’s that I have a couple thousand of that I got on sale for about 1.00$ a bullet. I load it with vargett, although I have a bunch of it vargett is one of the few powders I have been seeing. Any wsm is a reloaders only game now do to reduced popularity.

  5. Yup, tests have been done that longer barrels do nothing for turkey guns to improve pattern. Only downside to a shorter barrel is that they’re a bit louder. 18.5” is perfect in my opinion. Anything over 20” is too long! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Couldn’t agree more. I’ve tried it all and shot pounds of BH and will never go back. Luckily I bought 15lbs a few yrs a go when I couldn’t find it local and had to pay the hazmat fee to ship I figured I would make it worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Never owned one but 24” is too long of a barrel for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I don’t think the fellow is very intelligent. I’m not sure he is capable of that kind of logic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I wouldn’t give up any of my 870’s for a 500. If I was buying a pump shotgun today and if I had to pick between the two it would be a 500. As a life long Remington fan I’ve completely lost faith in the name on anything coming out with the Remington stamp on it now, unfortunately! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Don’t forget with that deltapoint every click is a moa. At 50yds a couple clicks is only an inch. I would be going up about 14-16 clicks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. From a guy who carry’s way less than the essentials baby wipes are awkward with me! During deer season they’re a pocket item to keep them from freezing but for turkey they’re in the Fanny pack. It’s so much better for the job than TP! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. The easy answer is lie. Do you have guns? Absolutely not! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. How’s it shooting? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Put in on Paris island and fish the broad river or run off shore. I had a 19ft sea hunt when I was stationed down there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. When I lived on Paris island, 150 miles south the cobia fishing inshore was amazing this time of year. Could always catch red and black drum, flounder was great and speckled trout was getting good this time of year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. “I once was a hoarder, now I’m everyone’s friend.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Not to make myself sound like an A hole but how can anyone let themselves get to a point where they can’t shoot a gun they want to? Especially an obscure chambering. We had a warning in 2012 so this one there is zero excuse for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Reload Its the only option. I can’t remember the last time I’ve saw 35rem, 358win, 35 whelen or 44mag in a store. That’s my 4 main deer cartridges. If I didn’t reload I’d have to buy a 6.5 creedmore or a 350 legend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Isn’t the 320 drilled and tapped on the receiver? A pic mount down on the rail would be awkwardly high in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I think this is more of a supply and demand issue, when there is basically zero demand there won’t be much supply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Have at it, as I’ve said from the start it’s a lot better than your .410. I think you’re a fool for not stepping down to a smaller shot size and getting more pellets on the paper. Don’t compare my 20’s to what you’re planning on toting! This is a pattern with a 2 3/4” heavy game load at 25yds. I have more bb’s in a 2.5” circle than you have on the entire paper with your choice of setup. This isn’t from any crazy turkey chokes or turkey ammo just cheap high brass and a pretty open choke.

  22. Wounding a bird has nothing to do with the choke or the load it has to do with the one pulling the trigger and their self control. Your Turkey choke and turkey loads are still only effective to let’s say 60yds if you shoot at one at 70 you’re likelihood to wound the bird goes up exponentially. I don’t hunt with a “Turkey choke” or a “Turkey load” but my max range is 30yds. If I shoot at them at 30 I’m not going to wound them due to mechanical failure it will be a me failure. I choose my setups because of my style of hunting, I don’t call much, I love to run and gun and sneak in very close. Back when I hunted with “turkey loads” and “turkey chokes” I missed/wounded a lot of turkeys because my patterns were too tight for the sub 15yd shots. To give myself the advantage at those ranges for my average shots I’m willing to give up the range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I would compare your setup to someone wanting to hunt deer with a 9mm from a carbine. Will it do the job if the hunter is willing to strictly stay within its effective ranges and only take perfect shots? Absolutely, is there a hunter that would recommend it to another hunter? Not a chance! Your pattern is abysmal, your setup is awful! If I had a raccoon in the chicken coop and had the option of that setup or a shovel I’m probably grabbing the shovel but if you’re careful and have the self control it “will get the job done just fine.” Much like a 9mm carbine for deer.

  24. Not to defend him but I don’t think I’ve ever saw a Turkey load in 16ga. Never looked for one but can’t remember ever seeing one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Some good looking guns fellas! Not at all surprised to see so many 835’s. Somewhat surprised to see so many still using a bead. No 10ga. I can remember when they were somewhat popular. Neither of mine have been touched in years and probably never will again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
