Re: Turkey season is over....

Very nice. Great cartridge. Did you go with a fast twist barrel for the heavier bullets? I've read fantastic stuff on the Hornady 105gr. AMax's, but my 1/10" Tikka .243 wouldn't stabilize them (didn't think it would, but just had to try).

Re: My future hunting partner.

Congratulations! They do grow up fast - ours are 7 (son) and 9 (daughter). God blessed me with a nice tom this year, when I had them sitting on each side of me. Words can't describe getting hugged by both at once with a nice tom to carry home. :D You have plenty of challenges and rewards in your fut...

To hen or not to hen?

I'm headed to NY this weekend, to carry my flintlock and a couple turkey tags around the woods. Reports are the hens have started setting and the toms may be somewhat cooperative. Now, I've been to NY 4x and have passed on jakes but never had a chance on a mature tom. Due to my 4 previous failures, ...

Re: 11-87 reliability

Don't know about the newer guns, but a good friend has been running a 3" 11-87 camo for years (I think it's a mid-90's gun) with never a hiccup. We learned about the spring in thre stock though when it rusted right up and seized - never even knew it was there. So if you get one, make sure to po...

Re: The beauty of Tungsten shot......

This is great stuff, for sure. You're right, people forget that every latest improvement isn't about getting further and further from the game we hunt, its about improving efficiency and maybe opening doors to new opportunities. We all hunt different ways and for different reasons. For me now, its a...

Re: Gobblers on the limb

Personally, I don't make a sound at him until he's on the ground. The only exception to that would be if there is a yappy hen the far side of him, and then I might give him a tree yelp or couple soft clucks (whichever is most appropriate at the time), just to get his mind on me. Then I let fate take...

Oh no! Should get that gobbler done as a full body mount, and have a copy of your hospital bill with blood spatter lying on the forest floor at his feet. Very memorable, indeed. :blackeye:

Re: Tagged out in Tennessee!

Nice job! We're done at 2 here in ON. I wish it weren't so, but we have a good turkey population so I'll trust the MNR knows how to manage it properly.

Great looking gobbler, and I love the MO Bottomland. :thumbup:
