General Forum / Re: If you could hunt 1 day wi...Last post by zelmo1 - Today at 09:57:06 AMI have hunted with a few here and had a great time and was successful. I would have to say Roost 1. We met and had a fantastic seafood plate up in Maine but no hunt. I would like to close that loop. The others I have hunted with, you are free to buy me a Capt. Platter at Bayhaven anytime you are up in my neck of the woods.

General Forum / Re: Vest RecommendationLast post by Tom007 - Today at 09:44:29 AMWish I had my Dixon back. I did replace it with a Fox Vest, but that Dixon sure was fine. You have many options, and will get good feedback here. I like the Alps Pro Impact. Real good seat for sure.

Tube Calls / Re: Puckettes Mouth YelperLast post by GobbleNut - Today at 09:43:43 AMNever heard of this call. Is it a mouth call or a tube call? Assuming it was/is a tube call, from that era I would suspect the reed material might be proph...but that is just speculation. If you are looking for a recommendation as to what to replace the reed material with, I would suggest something (latex) in the .003 -.004 range, but there are other choices, as well. As for the width question, it seems to me that most tube calls...even from that era...have a diameter of about 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 inches or so.
Again, though, just kind of guessing about it to try to give you an answer to your questions... #28

Turkey Guns / Re: Old Federal 3" 7 shotLast post by TTG - Today at 09:34:46 AMAs others have said, it is an absolute hammer of a shell. Because of this website back in 2015ish I setup a youth 20G 870 with Sumtoy .562-5 all around this shell and have been using it since. I will fully support the comments of 0-40 and will say, it has enough to do the job past that if you misjudge.
I'm not proud of it, but only 2 times have I shot past 40 and one was on my first Merriams. Nerves got to me, bird took a different angle than I expected and when he got to the next opening I squeezed a shot off. Bird crumpled but while I was walking over I was thinking "man, this seems a bit far". When my buddy who was sitting 40-50 yards behind me during the shot got to me, we ranged the tree I was at and got 55 yards. By no means am I an advocate for shooting one past 40 but that day showed me the shell was more capable than I was, LOL. #30
