Re: Mossburg 835

So Carlson makes a .650 constriction for the 835? I’m sorry - I did not specify. I do not know what Carlsons restrictions are for the 835. I assumed perhaps wrongly that you were taking choke recommendations for LB ammo. My shotgun is the Franchi TT. I have been happy with its performance. If I thr...

Re: Mossburg 835

I’m running the Carlson LB choke supposedly made for the Longbeard ammo. It’s either that or IC for me. Mine is 650 construction. Theirs a turkey target in a previous thread of mine that is my 650 Carlson and 3.5LBXR 2oz 6’s.I think this is it.

Re: Turkey Hunting Public Land

What he said AND: be the first one to your parking spot and respect the hunter there before you by moving on. Other hunters will not practice the same but they should. When you are the first one there, hunt like you are the only one there but defensively. What that means is never stalk turkey sounds...

Re: Carlsons

I shoot a Carlson LB with lead and it is a 650…. TSS is reported to pattern better with a more open choke. In my uneducated opinion, 640 is tight

Yessir! I really like the Mossy SA28 for a dedicated Turkey rig. I also hear someone on here has a “cherry” load for it that is supposedly the “Bomb”!😎

Re: Anyone hunting?

I’ve been this archery- had some doe luck. A target buck has disappeared for the last 10 days… that’s not a strange occurrence but I wish he was more regular. Had a cool snap last week- it’s been back in the daily 80’s so I’ve just been prepping wanting to go.

Re: Nest raiders

I can’t put an average number to how many nests a raccoon destroys.

I also know that the use...

Re: Nest raiders

They thick here in Mississippi… I agree on the bounty. If we gonna keep our bag at 3, you should have to trap to get the last two tags. I believe that would directly and indirectly help the birds- and that is a win in my book.

Re: Worlds Smallest Turkey Gun

I watch a good bit of pattern video's and it is beyond me why people don't use a larger backing to see the whole pattern? Old wrapping paper is cheap and by counting the number of shot in a turkey head without knowing if you are truly centered in the pattern seems unproductive. Casey This. Learned ...

I love my Sur Shot on my 870! Except it pushes the POI waayy hi! Gotta have a highly adjustable sight system to work. I truly believe the way the Sur-Shot is held it soaks up recoil.Not really a big problem on sub gauges tho

Re: ebike for hunting

I have said almost this. Public land should be available anytime the season is open to anyone with a legal tag. If 1000 hunters on opening morning want to lace up and hike to the “ back forty” then so be it. As we all know not all are willing to do so and that back forty should be reserved for those...
