LET EM GROW

They are indeed the best budget friendly turkey gun out there. by far

I was just looking to buy a good one somewhere. Been wanting one for a few years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone near arkport they had a ton of handgun ammo. I kinda hate this pandemic bc everyone is asking me for a few rounds few rounds there cause they know I have it. They hands that help I return help. The hands that continue to ask and not return.. get the cold shoulder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i would definitely deep clean it if it hasn't been scrubbed and polished in a long time. your pattern will improve

The video i posted speaks volumes, and as mentioned before. the turkey population situation needs addressing. That video was made while we started discussing this here.. There should be no reason we haave to travel for turkeys.. But the squeaky wheels get the grease, and when funds and systems arent being run or working properly.. situations not getting addressed only get worse as well.. Idk about yall but i love turkey hunting and getting youth in the turkey woods, but todays youth most dont have the patience to endure 2 or 3 or 10 sits that are far from action packed. Much different than they used to be 10-20 years ago.. Said it before and ill say t again, we need to consider the future in everything us sportsman and woman do.. and research is key! learn learn learn..

I just see your gun being so much better than this. Heres pictures from when I used to shoot a 12ga.. of my Mossy 500 with undertaker choke and XR 5s and my 535 with factory xxfull with xr 4s both at 30 yards. and 3rd is my 535 xxfull with 3.5" #4 xr at 65 yards

My memory I shot, sorry if it’s dry but do you have any other loads to try? You should still be shooting better IMO. But the X-r and undertaker is decent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all, Ive always used Muck style rubber boots, LAcrosse, UA, Muck brand, you name it.. no complaints really besides maybe excessive warmth on warmer days and the support gives me shin splints the last couple years when covering ground, especially trying to do so quickly.. I'm looking for a good quality hiking boot to use for Turkey and Most decent days during deer season. And maybe even work outdoors etc.. Would like to know what you all recommend or use with pros/cons etc.. Thanks in advance!

Yep! And I wouldn’t mind that either. I just want a turkey hunting future for our youth. Our grandkids etc.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! I just need to renew membership.

IT sure did, Thanks. I seen your expensive Taxi bill in the works too! lol Nice haul sir!

That is a good problem to have, There were years we could all tag out on opening weekend. And in the last 10 years youd be lucky to have a guy or two tag out.. pursuing longbeards only. The numbers used to be phenomnanl .. 5-6 longbeards opening weeknd was aweome! year after year after year, and of course when spring weather doesnt cooperate we can ruin the population fast.. Hence the reaosn why i preach hunter education and research the wildlife we pursue as we can wipe out populations quick too as nothing is promised.. smash a bunch of red heads in Spring and have a horrible hatch.. or 2 in a row and we go straight back.. I just wish The DEC can make some changes to eligible birds for spring tags.. We need to think of our Future, not right now.. And the majority of people you talk with dont see the numbers they used to. Im still in contact with DEC as im receiving a bunch of stolen hunting gear back from a poaching/theft issue at my camp. I will ask him and pick his brain. These Birds need perfect habitat or they dont thrive

Completely Agreed, but who really goes out in the fall, and intentionally gets on a group of birds and targets the smallest bird of the flock? Very very few people, if anyone.. Leaving this fall season open to harvesting probably the best birds for reproduction.. They Pick out the longbeard or big fat hen and send it.. And research shows many Jakes are ill equipped to successfully breed hens.. Just stating I think many hunters also specifically target the big hens in fall as they make spring hunting harder.. Not knowing.. And youre right, there probably isnt enough birds really being taken in Fall to really make a big difference, unless a group of birds walks within range of someone in their bow stand.. i think most people are hunting deer.. But at my place on the 1300 acres i have access to, not far from you. And even as diverse as it is, Ridges, bottoms, Hills facing every direction, Pines, Fallow fields, Water you name it.. Im lucky to see 1 or 2 hens every year with a half dozen poults by fall.. Probably the same hens each year. And with running cameras.. from June to September the poult numbers in these groups slowly drop.. My observations anyways..

Numbers get lower and lower it seems, and all for the reasons Gman explains and basically in that order IMO.. But also, more on the predator issue, They everywhere they turn. Birds in the sky, Coyotes, Fishers(which can climb the roost tree and whack them), Raccoons, Skunks, Possum raiding nests, Us humans bumping nests and calling and shooting them. The allowance to shoot a bearded hen in Spring. If hens dont have a successful hatch in their first year or two of life they typically will never have a successful hatch.. So many Factors and the DEC really fail to protect them. Mowing fields at the wrong time of year... I also believe birds in certain areas gobble less frequent due to predation.. They gobble and let predators(like us) know exactly where they are.. I wish our numbers were like they used to be 10-20 years ago. 1 Bird in spring, No bearded hens, No fall harvests for a few years. Also and open up a season on fisher and longer season on Raccoon since Trapping is becoming a past time.. This winter at the beginning or the end of our coyote sets I would call raccoons. They are so easy and so fun to call in.. More people should get into it, especially with youths. Give these turkey a chance, as their numbers continue to dwindle

That kid owns it.. turning the girls away left and right. tight fade on the sides too

It is, we never noticed it until WNY mentioned it when he began the mount. Pretty cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hope he knows what he’s in for when chasing these elusive beasts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Halloween Morning of 2020 my 15yr old stepson lost his sanity, and became the next human to endure mature whitetail madness, and there's no looking back.. Been trying to teach him how to hunt appropriately and where to find bucks and why.. Now, After receiving his mount from WNY, he can see the true beauty in a quality Whitetail mount. Thank you sir

Awesome! I love seeing food plot pics, do you plan to keep this in a perennial clover plot?

Someone wanna scout mine for me? lol. Wish i could get out and scout. maybe flydown time saturday if im lucky..

Shooot it at 10 yards to get your pattern dialed in, leave it a few inches low. Then move out. To bore sight, You can set it up on a gun sled or tripod and look down the bore of the barrel towards your target and move your reddot to where the center of your bore is pointed if youd like. Same concept as a bore sighter. Or just shoot and adjust. I have red dots on most of my turkey guns, especially the ones that kick good. Put one on my 410 this weekend and sighted in. Also on my 20ga and 12 ga guns all have them as well. Luckily my 28ga OU is dead on with a single bead.

That is awesome sir!

Amen to that. I feel the same basically. I love being there calling them, but the youth and newbie hunts mean way more to me..

ITs funny I mentioned this, I shot my 410 over the weekend and the cheap factory choke performed better than the 75$ Indian creek choke. Both being slightly different in constriction(.005") tells me how important the numbers game really is per shot size. Also shot my 28ga as well and the Indian creek out performed the Carlsons (cheaper choke by far) but like the 410, they both were .005" different in constriciton
