Nice work on the gobbler! Congrats! On a second note, how was your fishing on Erie? I leave on the 20th for a week where we take the ferry across and stay in Put in Bay and fish around the islands and Camp Perry firing range. Hope to get that 32" this year!

I remember when my youngest boy was 10 years old and he practiced with a 1 1/8 oz 7 1/2 shot (trap round)... I kept the same shell in for hunting. Called in a tom to 10 yds and he smoked it with a trap load. Don't think you need to get the biggest baddest shell out there. The next year I had...
Like jkratz5 said, get a blind and pop it up out in the middle of a field where they are feeding. I would suggest a jake and hen decoy about 15 yds from your blind. Get in a good 30 minutes before it starts to get light in the morning and be as quiet as possible. I like to position my blind...
There is an old saying about bowhunting turkeys "hit them high watch them die....hit them low watch them go". Their is a horizontal line in there feathers right above the top of the wing. Shoot them on that line at center mass or the Texas heart shot would work!

I went through this a few years ago with my boys as I wanted to get them a youth 12 ga. for turkey hunting/trap shooting except after ALOT of research I found that they don't make a YOUTH 12 gauge! Everything I found was a 20. I ended up finding a 12 ga Rem. 870 express turkey edition where it...
In my area it got so bad where I was typically hearing at least 12-15 different Toms in a 2 mile radius to probably 2-3 Toms. I quit hunting them myself and tried getting my 2 boys on birds but was pretty hard especially with an hour drive one way to get there. I'm hunting in SouthWest Iowa...
What's everyone's take this year so far on the turkey population? Obviously the past 10-12 years it has been on the decline but didn't know if they ever started coming back in your areas. Post up what part of the state you're from and what you're currently noticing for bird counts!

Been kind of slow on here for youth deer pics. My son Easton (11 y.o.)wanted to follow in his older brothers footsteps and try and harvest his 1st deer this year during the youth deer season. His older brother shot his 1st deer during the same youth season a few years ago. We started...
I use the 250 gr SST's for bullets.
Throw the sabots away that come with them and buy the MMP sabots.
Shoot 69 grains of H4198.
This load shoots tacks out to 200 yds.
Good Luck and you will love this gun!
If I remember correctly 1st season always started around the 4th, 5th, 6th every year! It does seem like the adult seasons are getting later and later. I have nothing against the youth tags (I have a 11 and 14 yr old myself) but since they can now hunt during the regular seasons lets get this...
Don't laugh but I made mine out of cardboard and duct tape. Make 2 big squares a little bit bigger than your fan. Take the duct tape and go around 3 sides leaving the top open to slide your fan into. Cut a rectangular hole at the top in the cardboard for a handle and your done. Cheap and...
