Gobbler Nation

That's the way you do that!

I really think if more people would try hunting without a blind and get better at setting up / sitting still / repositioning / calling / woodsmanship, they would leave the blind and decoys at home more often than not. All dead turkeys look the same and it is how the deal went down that we remember m...

someday will there be a website called New Gobbler

Somewhere the ghost of Michael Jackson is turkey hunting.

You might be surprised how well it patterns at 40 yards. See what it can do at 40. Your pattern at 30 is more than enough. The pattern is very tight and you and the gun would benefit with adjustable sights or red dot. Your POI/POA as is would require unwieldy Kentucky windage in the heat of battle....

I bought the Yildiz $129 single shot at Academy last fall and started fooling around with it a couple of weeks ago. Don't care much to hunt with it out to 40 yards so I patterned it at 30 and stopped there. How does 208 in the 10 ring at 30 yards sound? Might put some sights on it to get POI in line...

Have you thought about one of those saddle mounts?

I want to be on the losing team so I can call BS on the 28 pound bird with 4 beards and 2 inch spurs.

Sorry for creating the confusion I just don't associate Montana with turkeys but instead only with big game. The big game nonresident license applications are due in less than 4 weeks and it just so happens I am in the midst of figuring out what to do this fall in MT. So my walnut sized turkey brain...

But region 6 has some special permit draw management units. Still confused

Have been travelling to MT for over 10 years now and have lots of bonus points invested so will continue to draw for that tag of a life time. Gotta happen sooner than later but in the mean time will continue to hunt with a general license and learn more and more of the country. Just curious about wh...

Begin by saying it's a lot like elk hunting the rut. That will get their attention and they can relate. Calling, bulging (gobbling), walking...they have similarities. The comparisons with elk and turkey are endlesss. Think about it. They both might run in or sneak in, they could come in loud or qui...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the real life experience. Maybe the issues (fogging, thumb smacking, speed bead failures) are why I have only seen FF III's on the receiver. No speed bead for me. Will save the $65

Will be adding a FFIII to my Remy 1187 for the upcoming season. On the few turkey rigs that I have seen, everybody has mounted the FFIII to the top of the receiver. Buy I noticed that Burris offers what they call a Speed Bead which is simply a mounting plate that is secured by a tab that is sandwich...

Off of a bench and sandbags shoot the gun at a series of targets at 10, 20, 30 yards and so on. Note the elevation and create a ballistics chart. Then compare that to the numbers generated from a ballistics calculator.

I think what you are seeing is a flat round of course. But the only way a bullet's trajectory is higher at 200 than 100 is if you have a slow round and a scope that sits way above the barrel. Imagine an arc that passes through 0 at 100 and is drawn down but is still above 0 at 200. What you are seei...

Just curious if you got the gun back and how it has performed. Thanks. Jeff

My mental math says we have around 610 points. Am I missing something? Or looking at it another way, 10 birds divided into 538 points gets an average of 53.8 points. We got lotsa birds over 60 so our team score should be over 600.

posted my first one. 63.45. should help. Got one more tag in the pocket unless find a way to get to Ohio in the next week.

Got my first this AM opening day PA. Still have a month to go for upgrades.

I have a pair of diamondbacks and they work fine for me. Vortex has an unconditional guarantee by the way. Totally unconditional. I dropped my binos and broke the eyepiece. Sent it back for repair thinking I would have to pay some $ but they replaced the binos. I also have gotten real fond of Vortex...

No pressure.

You go get'em Jamey. Pop the team cherry and get us going. I will be in AL March 27-29 to hopefully give you a push. Be safe.
