I love trapping coons. Easiest bait I have found and it works great.
catfish food/ slice up apples/ let the apples shrivel up and your bait is ready.
it is mess free, and the coons love the fishy/sweet taste.

Re: To hen or not to hen?
They are turkeys for God's sake, not Harvard scholars, you actually believe they think like a human and can rationalize different situations. Same thing I tell trappers that think coyotes think like people and are hard to catch, these are just stupid animals like a turkey, no harder to catch than a...

Re: Off-season feeding
I am in MS, I don't cut any fields until after memorial day, then we go in and plant cowpeas for the deer/turkeys. they love it and work as great bow plots in the fall for deer. I normally see hens and poults all in them. My main project this last winter was trapping. I trapped 15 coyotes and over 1...

Re: Good Gobbling Morns
I have found that barometric pressure plays a role, but you never know until you go. I had a friend wanting to go this year. We planned it out and was a cloudy, muggy, morning. The pressure had fallen overnight. I didn't even want to get out of bed. We got out there and heard 2 turkeys gobbling very...

Great job guys. Beautiful birds! You scared the gobblers in the area so much you were able to train that one to stand and pose with the two you already shot in fear for his life. What kind of decoy is that? My hunting buddy who is a taxidermist made it for me. I just caped a bird out, skinned it do...

This morning, I shared a hunt with my younger brother on our family farm.

Re: benelli sbe2
A roll crimped load has the tendency to be longer than a fold crimped load. The length is the issue. This is correct. In my M2 20ga a 3in roll crimp will not feed out of the magazine into the barrel. The same load fold crimped on a MEC 600jr feeds perfectly. In my SBE2, I have slightly trimmed some...

It’s fiddling with guns time of the year for me until dove and bird doggin’ seasons. I enjoy building turkey rigs out of inexpensive, hammerless, single-shot, break actions. The two I have had success with are the Yildiz .410 and Baikal MP-18, aka, IZh-18 or Remington Spartan 100 in 20 gauge. A cou...
