Title: I'm on my way
Post by: TrackeySauresRex on February 26, 2016, 11:01:06 PM
   Slowly I've been getting ready for the upcoming season. A new 20ga has put a some more fire in my belly. She shoots real good,and I'm excited to get a notch in her this spring. More good news,my Nj permits have been awarded for weeks one and two. NY and Pa., are also on the list. So far,so good. All seems to be falling into place. I will keep the team posted on all my hunts right here. Stay tuned.

Sounds good, hope you knock a gig un down. Blackmagic and I will be scouting tomorrow with a little fishing thrown in for good measure.

Sounds like a good plan.  Tell us about your twenty gauge.  Which shells are you shooting?  I've reloaded some TSS with really good results.

Here She is Doggy,  Ol Black Betty  :toothy12:
MB-500 with a Tasco Propoint
Turlock choke specked out for Fed 7's
And her best pattern to date

I'm excited to get her out in the turkey woods. However...Its going to be tough reaching past my Ol 835 when I go into the safe on opening day. I've never shot one with the 20. I think its time to put the shoulder breaker down when you get a pattern like tins.

I've seen some of them TSS patterns there definitely impressive! One day in the future I will shoot them.
Good Luck
B-Well

Dandy looking rig. You should have fun with that one. HW Federals have patterned well for me too.

Good luck on your ventures this Spring and that's 1 hell of a pattern for a 20 guage at 40 yds :firefighter:

Awesome pattern for a 20-g at 40-yds. Good luck and lay it to 'em.

I'm whooped! Did some serious walking checked out a WMA up north. Nice country lots of bears :character0029: I didn't see a whole lot of turkey sign. Needs further investigation at first lite. More to follow on this one. I'm getting the itch bad. I'm ready to go,it's getting close.
B-Well

Beautiful scattergun. That is an impressive target for 40-yds. Good luck with it and knock 'em down.
