Gobbler Nation

I feel Western NY where I hunt has had a decline in the population, the 90s were great but it is not what it use to be. Last season I killed a Beautiful Long beard on opening morning and hunted the same ridge 6 other mornings and never heard another one. This is a hillside that runs along a lake 6 m...

My Favorite is spring Gobbler Season, I have hunted them since 1979 and killed my first in 81 and have been hooked since. Spring is coming very slowly to NY and I still have to wait until May 1st.

I got mine at Bass Pro. I have always used Federal shot shells.

I shoot the factory choke in mine, was shooting a primos tight was but the factory choke was better. I shoot 3"#6 Federal Premium Mag Shook 1 5/16 oz. Kills them just fine.

I killed a Adult Gobbler a few years ago and we cooked it for Thanksgiving, as I carved it I seen a Black spot that I thought was a feather draw. It was a stick the. Size of a pencil about 2" long all healed up. Had to hurt when he first did it I would think.

Boyd's are Awesome Quality stocks, have one on my Marlin 30/06 Pepper laminate .

Seen several good groups of poults in the north country. Have not seen any around home yet,

Sweet, very nice.

I found a Primos Tight Wad choke at Walmart to fit my Stoeger 3020 20ga, thought if it dont pattern well I am only out 5 bucks. It patterned Great. Have not looked for the calls on sale yet but will have to.

Just had mine drilled and tapped for a Weaver 93a base. I will post a pic when I can get my daughter to do it. Those 3020s look sweet.

Yes the weather has been crazy, worst spring we have had in years. Cold wind from the north and east all season.

The best part of Spring hunting is you see so much going on in the woods.

Looks Great, I will get mine drilled and tapped out this summer. Still have to zero it in , shooting a touch high but not bad. Season opens May 1st.

Congrats, nice Gobbler. Nothing gets the Heart. Rate going like spring Gobblers!

My set up is the same as turkyjoe but gun is in APG camo as is the TruGlo Gobble Stopper. I put the B Square Cantiliver base on it. I will get a pic up later.

I will post a pic tonight.

Just put the cantilever mount on my 3020 with a Tru Glo Gobble Stopper on it, did a bore sight with the laser sight and will do some patterning this weekend!

Congrats, to both of you!

Congrats to your daughter, Nice Gobbler.

Congrats for him, Awesome way to start out.

I have a coat just like that in MO Bottomland camo. Still in Great shape.

Thank you for the info!

I seen that setup on Amazon, did not think it would fit the rib on the 3020? Going to get one now, is it shooting well?

So does anyone have any pics of their 3020 with a Red Dot on it?

Awesome Gobbler, congrats.
