Gobbler Nation

Was very fortunate to spend many days afield this year. Did things a bit different this year. Went back to a 12ga with just a bead. Made my own mouth calls this and used them exclusively all season. Handmade shells and calls and lots of great memories. I also had a herniated disc operated on two wee...

The raffle is our big fund raiser at the dinner, held late September. With the proceeds we focus our efforts locally. Hen nest...

Sure looks like a bird was hit when he missed the double.

I will be Wisconsin the until Monday. Then Michigan for a few days.

I am in.

Thanks

The Dnr website is the place you need to start.

Mine shoots real nice patterns with a 575 choke and tss. Very consistent fun.

TSS various sizes of shot and gauges. My goal is to have around 550 pellets in any given payload. 410 being the exception.

digging up this old thread.

thinking about starting to make my own mouth calls. i am interested in all advise from whoever is willing to offer. i am reading as much as i can on the subject.

Been using the same pair of Nikon monarch 10x42 for the past 15 years. The get used hard during the waterfowl season. I carry them everyday turkey hunting on my chest with a harness. I consider binos essential equipment. They may be larger than some compacts, but I like larger objective lenses.

Right place right time. As I am trained in emergency medicine. I always stop when I see people in distress. Y’all did the right thing. Good job!

Looks and sounds like a good plan.

Loaded up some 370 loads with 10s and opened up the wad. We will see the results later this winter.

I read the study. Good stuff my question is, how many turkeys killed are actually checked in or is there not a registration system. Wisconsin changed the way you check in a bird last year. They went away with tagging the bird and went To the honor system, harvest was down 10%. I think some people ne...

Rough deal. Thoughts and prayers go to you and your family.

Mine was mounted using a 336 base and tapping the rib.

Congratulations

Great pic. One of my grandfathers is buried at Arlington. My other grandpa just passed this April. He was part of the 82nd airborne.

Hope all turns out well.

I just picked up an Ariens good mower. Gravely makes them. Get a deck with three cutting blades. With your budget you can have whatever mower you want. Go with someone local the can honor any warranty issues should they arise.
