LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Calling VS Experience/Wood...

Last post by Bowguy - Today at 09:24:24 AM

I would emphasize again that, with the tools (calls, calling instruction videos, YouTubers, etc.) available today, there is no reason for anybody not knowing how to sound like a real turkey. My five-year-old grandson picked up one of my box calls and within five minutes was yelping on it well enough to call gobblers.

Knowing how to make turkey sounds does not equate to knowing when to apply them in the turkey woods. That comes only from time and experience in those woods. Those experiences should include trying all sorts of tactics to sort out what works when, and under all kinds of circumstances, situations, and conditions. "Pidgeon holing" yourself by sticking to a single set of tactics and calling is a sure-fire way to kill fewer gobblers than you would by being a bit more "experimental" in your approach. Sure, you don't want to get away from some level of "natural-ness" in how turkeys sound and behave, but that can vary a lot more than it seems some people believe it does.

Given enough time and experience...and dedication...in pursuing gobblers, pretty much everybody can learn how to "get'er dun"...assuming they are hunting in a place where there are turkeys to begin with.

A prime example: Back to those dreaded YouTubers. There is a zillion of them now trying to get a piece of the pie, and they run the gambit of how they call, what they sound like, and what sorts of tactics they use wherever they might be hunting. Watch a few of them and you will quickly see there are lots of ways to CALL and kill gobblers...even some of them that probably shouldn't.   

Thats a fact. Sometimes when bored I'll put a you tube on. Not to sound funny, but some of these guys are so bad, they don't even sound close to a turkey. Yet the birds come in, they even post how great the call is. Hmmm I just switch to another video where I don't need perfection but at least close to realism.
Great topic Gobblenut

20 Gauge Turkey Guns / 870 Youth 21” Choke/Loads

Last post by NightHawk24 - Today at 09:03:55 AM

Hey guys. Working on getting my youth 870 with the 21" barrel setup for this upcoming season. Have seen a lot of patterns with it, however most of the ones I've seen have been with  the .555 IC.

I prefer a bit more even pattern so I'm looking for something that isn't extremely tight. Just wondering if you guys had any luck with particular chokes/loads? Thanks in advance.

General Forum / Re: Vacuum sealers

Last post by the Ward - Today at 09:00:14 AM

I've gone a different route, small handheld vacuum sealer from Chef Preserve. I have an older Foodsaver that hasn't been used since purchasing the handheld. Bags are reusable and I've used most several times. If using the bags liquids would need to be frozen first. Very handy for everyday use. Bags are available in S, M and L. Unit comes with charging cord.

My wife just got the same one, we go through vacuum sealers about every 4-5 years, so we figured we'd try one of these. Nice and compact, will save some space in our crowded kitchen!
