General Forum / Re: State Bag Limits- Too Many...

Last post by WLT III - Today at 09:03:36 AM

Baiting, TSS, and youtube, has taken its toll on turkeys, more than any other factors. Anyone who cannot realize that, has no ability to reason.  My personal self imposed limit, is 4 longbeards, Spring and Fall combined. I eat everything on them, and 4 will carry me thru a year, Although I have turkeys on my own land, as well as neighbors, my satisfaction has always come from killing on public ground. No self respecting turkey hunter would kill his own turkeys, at least in the circle I run in

NJ recently closed the fall season. I'm hearing rumors from good sources about at least one zone closing and an actual season limit.
We need to start bobcat trapping and take the birds of prey off the untouchable list. They kill lots poults.
One point of consideration.. We are sportsman. We originally asked for limits and regs. We can be conscious of issues and self limit. Ask someone about that it'll be a foreign concept to most.
If the state "game managers" can't respond quickly enough we can. Guys wanna keep hunting, shoot one bird than take a kid. It's much harder and will be less impact

I've used camo tape on a bps upland for what seems like forever, worked great. I am unfamiliar with gaffers' tape, but it sounds like it works just as well for your purpose. I used to tape up the gun prior to season, then remove immediately after. Only concerns I ever had was getting caught in rain and getting moisture collecting under tape and causing rust.

Turkey Guns / Re: Bead or Red dot

Last post by the Ward - Today at 08:29:33 AM

So far I've used bead, fiber optic irons, red dots and scopes. They all work well, but my personal favorites are bead and red dot. I prefer a bead, but the gun has to shoot dead on, and I use a choke/load combo that is a little more open so as to be more forgiving of errors up close, and try to not take any really close shots. I am eventually going to have my sx4 drilled and tapped as soon as I can find a good gunsmith in my area, and will be using a holoson 6moa green dot though. After all the sighting systems I've tried, this one suits me the best.

Never hunted outside of 12 counties in North Carolina in all my years of chasing turkeys. I loved every minute of it.

I have done 75 scuba diving trips outside of the country and had so much adventure and so many Discovery Channel moments over the years that I've lost track.

head north for real bourbon my brother!

never heard of that stuff sounds good though

Peg Leg Porker is owned by Carey Bringle. It's the namesake of his competition bbq team and restaurants.

He calls it peg leg after himself. He lost his right lower leg to cancer at a young age.

I can't speak to the quality of the whiskey but his bbq is quite good

Turkey Guns / How many still use gaffer tape...

Last post by Davyalabama - Today at 08:16:17 AM

I know many of you are getting into hydro dipping, buying turkey guns already camoed, but what about those with blued barrels, or even shiny barrels from the really old guns.

I've used different kinds of tape, and I finally settled on gaffer's tape several years ago.  Last year, I tried the athletic grip tape in camo, I don't wrap the stock, just the shiny parts, that tape didn't like the odd contours of the model 12, and I certainly didn't like trying to wrap almost the whole gun of the 1100 or A5.

I'm not much into the gun socks that slide over the whole gun.  A ghillie I use for the rifle, doesn't work well with carrying a gun for long distances, too much sliding for me.  I just don't think I want to rust blue my old guns, I'm supposed to purposely rust my guns, ummm, no.  It looks like it could work well, but .....

What else have y'all used that worked?
