The education piece is certainly an uphill battle.  Some folks just really don't care to learn or listen. 

I was hunting a 20 acre piece of public one time, the only access was via one place and my truck was parked there.  Bird gobbling his head off.  Guy pulls up at daylight, parks behind my truck and walks right into the middle of the piece, blowing the bird off the limb. 

I politely as I could explained the dangers of small piece hunting, ethics of being beat to a spot ect, ect.  His response "It's public land, get over it"

Been a very warm winter here in the Rocky Mountains!

Good to hear !!!

I'm sitting here waiting on my 21" of snow....   

Been a COLD winter here.   Spring can't get here soon enough !!!

Yes, how did you fare!? Seemed like it was quite underwhelming for most places but maybe not where you're at. Yes, good for the animals on one hand, here. On the other no snow either! Sitting at a very minimal snowpack which we hope turns around soon!

For years now, I've been beating this drum and it just seemed like right the time to be big and bold about it. It does seem as though some of the big players in YouTube are getting more secretive. Others, simply, are not. It's a free country but with freedom comes great responsibility

Regardless, I care not to argue about it anymore than I already have. I'm just merely coming here to tell you that this video now exists and there will be a few more, if you're interested in watching and supporting THIS STYLE of turkey hunting and secretism, give it a watch. If not, that's okay.

Thank you,
Trent

Some sort of 15 gr/cc #7.  Before everyone tries to reinvent the wheel, first remember 18 gram tss #9 is what reinvented the wheel.  The 20 ga wasn't even considered a viable option until the advent of fed hw7 and certainly wasn't mainstream until tss came along.  The honest answer is if you don't want to pay for it, trade for a 12 ga and have a viable gun.

I don't have to cross creeks more than 2ft deep and have used trash bags as temporary waders and knee high waterproof socks (too hot for here). I now wear merino wool socks at all times and non-waterproof hiking boots. I cross and get wet but the socks keep my feet comfortable even when wet and it's usually so hot in season here that it adds a welcome coolness and they dry quickly. I have never been one to get blisters, but I suppose that could happen with wet socks if you are susceptible to them. I have a pair of the over boot hip waders but I'm a weight weenie and never carry them.

My bet is on most companies coming out with a blend of tss/lead quickly, especially for sub guages. The ban on lead for waterfowl contributed to the tss movement and this will likely lead to someone inventing a better, cheaper mousetrap. Likely some new heavier than lead substitute material that works better than bismuth. Necessity is the mother of invention and we may all be even happier on the other side of this. That's as optimistic as this pessimist can get
