Ricky is a super guy, and he will shoot you straight on when you can expect one. He doesn't make a ton, but if he told you he'll get you one then he will.Thank you for the information.I'm not upset. I know life events get in the way. Just thought he wasn't doing a list anymore or just making for friends. #6

Turkey Guns / What 12ga 3.5" Auto to Get?Last post by Full_Fan - Today at 03:04:28 PMI haven't been in the shotgun market for a long time but I've been a big Remington fan for the last almost 40 years. I am a very avid turkey hunter and have been using a 12ga 11-87 Super Magnum (camo Special Purpose) since the 1990's. Unfortunately, production of this gun and its parts was discontinued around 2020 plus the bankruptcy. I know there were issues with some of these, especially with repeated 3.5" shell use. I actually had some issues of my own with one last year that I was lucky enough to be able to find parts for but it's just going to get harder and harder to find parts. I have not kept up with all the latest and greatest offerings from shotgun manufacturers over the last 2 decades but I'm starting to think about getting something new for my turkey gun. I have always been a dedicated green blooded Remington fan tried and true, but would consider something different if the quality and dependability was proven. I haven't purchased a new shotgun in over 20 years. In today's market, what would be the top recommended camo 12ga 3.5" auto-loading models? I don't want to discuss 12ga vs. 20ga or 3.5" vs. 3", I already know I want a 12ga 3.5" auto-loader. I want something dependable, good quality, not too heavy, and common enough I can find parts for if needed. What should I be looking at? Thanks for any feedback.

General Forum / Re: Trumpets???Last post by Turkeyman - Today at 11:18:33 AMAs others, I don't necessarily know what it is but when I run a trumpet as quiet as I can it gets responses. Last spring I positioned on a bird gobbling well...I couldn't get closer than ~100 yards. I called so softly I could barely hear it myself...he immediately responded. My last six birds have been with a trumpet/wingbone combination.
I don't consider myself good, but apparently good enough. Also, when I hear guys like Prudhomme and Farmer I really like that rasp...I can't do it no matter how hard I try. But the turkeys don't seem to care that my calling is clear. Now...I have a good box call, slate and glass but I'll stick to the trumpet/wingbone for another reason. I can call one-handed and, when I want, just hold it between my teeth while sitting there as a tom approaches. Barely any movement when I take my hand off the stock and back to the trumpet, if needed. |
