18). No-see-um gnats
19). Big-horned killer goats

And a better chance of seeing BigFoot with a Lil Monkey on his shoulder than killing a turkey.

D. Henry Shipes — Vernon, Florida...well, posthumously anyway. ;) Get out of the way Ben Lee, Tom Kelley, Ray Eye, Cove... Ole Henry might be the deadliest turkey hunter you’ve never heard of. Natural voice caller at that. Check out Netflix or YouTube’s archive of the movie “Vernon, Florida” (1981)....

Re: Benelli M2 Drilled & Tapped?

Unless y’all are neighbors, you’ll have to incur shipping costs. Any halfway reputable gunsmith can do it well and in minutes. Likely well under $40/hole.

Re: Harvest #s on hunting clubs

Obviously there are some small tracts that just “hold” a lotta turkeys. Maybe year after year. Great if that’s your place. However, for every oasis there’s at least one desert. On any sizable scale in your part of the world (where roost trees are well distributed), best I’ve heard of is a sustained ...

Re: How was your season?

I rated mine “average” a few weeks ago based on the number of turkeys that I connected with. But...as I reflect with the clarity of hindsight, it was one of the more gratifying seasons I’ve experienced in 42 years of trying to figure them things out. I met some willing turkeys and maybe few who were...

About $20/hole. Go with a 336 style mount (only 2 holes) for $40-ish.

The only thing I’ve ever been able to tell about age from the beards or spurs of any turkey I’ve killed is he’s as old as he’s gonna get. :scratch:

Central, Clinton County. Hopefully I can get the barrel polished up and try again this weekend when the weather is better. I've done this in the past with multiple 12 gauges and was looking for a choke that would definitely throw a decent pattern to start with and haven't found that yet. With the m...

I shoot both bead and reflex sight. The latter was never a consideration until I discovered turkey chokes and paired them with LB’s or TSS.

Re: FF3- 3 moa or 8 moa

Personal choice. Either is fine...I’ve got both. Vastly prefer the 8 MOA for a scattergun. Much quicker acquisition for me with the 8. If the 8 is obscuring too much of a turkey, he’s either too far or too small to shoot.
