Statistics 101.  Correlation doesn't equal causation. 

There was something that happened around 2020.... Something kinda big that put everyone out of work to find a new hobby that is AMAZING and fun! 

Yes, COVID caused non resident turkey hunting license sales/applications to double or even triple in some states. COVID whispered in their ear, "Go to Montana, young Man!" , "Go to South Florida, young man!" Lmao

Plus, a combo so nice, I bought it twice: macassar over persimmon 
(Full disclosure I have twin sons, but I do highly recommend this wood combination)

Not sure, even if I had twin sons, I'd be giving up that pair.   

I know you're talking from hands on experience 👍👍

General Forum / Re: Top 3-5 Hunting Items you ...

Last post by WV Flopper - Today at 08:10:55 PM

3 Items..  One was a Browning Stalker Synthetic stock 10 gauge... The Reason I sold the gun, it was like carrying a ball and chain while spring turkey hunting... LOL.

I wished now that I had kept it... It really was a nice shotgun...

I do still have some of the old Federal 4 / 6 that i look at from time to time to remind me of my love hate relationship with that mule kicker / heavy weight shotgun...

The other gun I regarded selling was a Mossberg 835 - 3 1/2 inch short barrel gun... I had a love hate relationship with it also, it was a mule kicker also... I do have some of the old Federal 3 1/2 inch shells left from that gun... lol

The last one was the first real turkey vest I bought, it was a Lynch and I sold it to a guy for 20 dollars, NOW I really do wish I had it back.. It was a shoulder strap type vest with 2 box call pockets ...

Dipped BPS Stalker with 26" barrel, 10 gauge. IC tube, FFIII, 8X9- 2.5 oz of TSS. The gun will shoot.

Yeah, she is a little wide in the hips, deep in the belly with a fat leg. But, when she barks.....stuff dies.

Been hunting with a 20 gauge last two seasons. When I run out of shells for the 20 I will carry the 10 again. I have 25 or so TSS for the 10. Plus, I can go back to her with copper plated sixes and have way more of a gun than the 20's with lead.

2026 OLD GOBBLER TURKEY HUNTING TEAM CONTEST / Re: Longbeards sign up for 202...

Last post by Zobo - Today at 08:05:17 PM

All I can say Happy is that we Longbeards come in all shapes and sizes. You see, we may not be the most fit or attractive. But, as long as we don't have a cardiac incident or break a bone, we are destined to succeed in the field. It's really all about the heart, skill and  sportsmanship...
and a handful of Motrin, some blood pressure meds and at least two Beenos.

I would also venture to say a large % of people who are outdoorsman and into it at all still had to work.

I don't know anyone who sat home, but all I know for the most part are blue collar people or ones working under business that were classified as essential.

Now if we are just talking about people who went camping, diff story.

Maybe where I'm at and my circle of people aren't the norm, idk

So only that correlation is causation?? Lol

I guarantee if it was covid, it was because they had time to first watch the videos to realize it was possible.

People didn't sit home and say "hey man let's go hunt the public land we always were scared to go too"
