Re: Gobblers on the limb
I always call to a roosted bird. I want him thinking about me before he flies down. If he's got hens around, I call as much or more than they do, to compete for his attention. I've never noticed calling causing a bird to stay in the tree longer, but I don't know how others call, so it's hard to say ...

Re: FALL TURKEY SEASONS FOR ALL 49 STATES....
Another issue I have with a fall season is the fact that a lot of the birds killed are 2 to 4 months old. Just does't sound like something I'd be interested in seeing happen around here. Lovett Williams used to talk about this. He was a proponent of shooting jakes during the fall/winter - because t...

Re: 8 days
Great pictures and story,...but I am a bit confused. The last pictures appear to be either Rios or Merriams, but I see no reference to any hunts other than in Eastern habitats. I know in the past you have mentioned hunting Utah, was there a change of venue not mentioned? If not, those are the oddes...

Re: 8 days
Day 7 Went back to GA and hunted one of the prettiest properties around. Had a lot of fun, but they were tight-lipped and unresponsive to my overtures. Day 8 My brother, youngest daughter, and I arrived at the place we planned on hunting just as gobbling was getting underway. We could not set up whe...

8 days
Only got to tote the gun 8 days this spring, but had an enjoyable season nonetheless. Day 1 Went down to GA for opening day, and hunted hard all day long. Heard one gobbler off the property on the roost, and I couldn't get close enough to do any good with him. Never saw a track or any sign anywhere....

Re: T10s?
Reports have been very good on the 10s this spring. I suspect they will be a very popular size for the small bores. Had one report out of a 20 ga that is crazy, but have no reason to believe he's lying. They did very well last fall for me on wood ducks and crows.... When I first started shooting and...

Re: 28 ga 10 x 9-1/2, 1-1/2 oz
Assuming viable patterns, 9-1/2s give 1.25" ballistics gel penetration to 60 yds, and the 10s to 51.6 yds. It'll be interesting to get field test reports on them this spring...2Shooter wrote:Dang Hal that's super nice what's the range on that load with 9-1/2 and 10's?
