New Member from Georgia

Post by huntin »

Been lurking here for some time and have gleaned a lot of information. Since I'm new to loading TSS I don't have much to offer in return. I am a long time turkey hunter and Shooter referred to me as the older gentleman from Georgia in one of his threads. My background is in Wildlife Management so maybe I can contribute along those lines.
I switched from a Benelli M1 12ga to a Benelli M2 20 gauge this year trying to reduce the weight and recoil since I was/am recovering from surgery. Really like the 20 and am impressed with the patterns, however I bought it used with a 28" barrel, M1 has a 21" barrel which I have shot for many years, so I had almost 5" cut off the barrel and rethreaded it for Trulock Chokes. I have also added a steady grip stock and am in the process of adding some camo paint.
I am impressed with the this Site and looking forward to a year of learning and another turkey season.

Thanks for all the welcomes and yes Curtis did the barrel work for me. I'm sure I'll be needing help from all of you, so bear with me I'm a newbie.

I finally figured out how to resize pictures. My avatar picture was made with a trail camera 4 or 5 years ago. I think it's one of the best turkey pictures I've ever seen. What do you think?
