General Forum / Re: Name No StatesLast post by CALLM2U - January 27, 2026, 03:00:43 PMThe challenge is that the people who need to learn this information, aren't visiting a turkey hunting forum. Or even watching a lot of turkey hunting videos.
Likely the best way for it to reach as many people as possible is if some of the bigger names in the hunting industry (both on and off of Youtube) produce some videos with scenarios to help educate. I know that won't be a popular idea with the anti-YouTube crowd, but if they have the huge impact they say they do, then this would mean a big impact for good. #32

General Forum / Re: Name No StatesLast post by bbcoach - January 27, 2026, 01:34:11 PMThis doesn't just happen on public land. I've had hunters drive down the road on our lease, even after passing by my truck parked a 1/4 to 1/2 a mile up the road they came in on and blow your hunt. They are ROAD HUNTING turkeys from their truck, with zero respect for anyone. Most of time, I've been there an hour before daylight, and they roll in at daylight or after. Gobblenut said it best, they approach turkey hunting like other Big Game hunting, with ZERO ethics toward others. Love his post. Learn how to Ethically hunt Turkeys before you try to Turkey hunt!

Turkey Gun Sights & Optics / Re: Benelli thread diameter?Last post by the Ward - January 27, 2026, 01:25:37 PMI haven't had any issues with them moving so far. One is mounted on a Benelli Vinci, it has a cross hatched type rib finish i think. And the other is on a bps10. both have stayed secure for several years of use.I often run a red dot or scope on the vinci though, it is a dual purpose waterfowl turkey gun, and i just switch up between seasons. the bps 10 i have 2 barrels for, and i use the short barrel with the easyhit bead for turkey. I don't think it would be an issue as long as barrel is clean and degreased before applying sight. I have run a truglow clamp on sight that has a screw in front bead,and the rear sight had a interchangeable peep or v that worked real good with the peep installed on my bps upland, might also be good for you.

It's a shame that's how some hunters operate. When she saw your truck, she should have yielded and moved on. When she hung around after she knew you were set up, that tells me she will never be an ethical hunter. Sad, great video though. Good luck this year, stay safe! Good points Jim, you know I respect and read almost all your posts, you are a tremendous wealth of turkey knowledge. However, I do not experience as much hunter pressure as many of us on the forum and have a different feeling on what I saw in Trent's video. First off, he saw the truck pull up in the dark, pull a short distance past his, but still park too close to him. I believe she should have drove past at least a half mile or more to park. Second, he had to whistle, and flash his light to her in the dark. At that point, she should have left. 3rd, while he was working his Tom, she appeared to be "stalking" towards the strutter. Trent whistled her away again, but she looped back into his set-up. This to me is a bit much, this sport requires safe-space and common sense ethics while pursuing and calling in turkeys. Ethical buffers must be adhered to to make things safe, fun, and successful. This is just my feelings and how I play the game. I do know it is tough to navigate popular public lands, thus these guidelines regarding ethics are of paramount importance to all involved. It would be a good thing for Donna to join this great forum to learn from the great fraternity here. Lord knows I've learned so much from all of you, surely making me a better turkey hunter. Be safe, thanks for sharing Trent and Jim. #38

Turkey Gun Sights & Optics / Re: Benelli thread diameter?Last post by Gman - January 27, 2026, 11:44:26 AMI have seen the sights that are held on by 2 face tape and I was a little concerned that it would eventually get knocked off by a tree limb while walking.
The other concern is that my ventilated rib is NOT smooth on top, it has the machined tiny grooves. (not sure of the proper terminology) That might make the adhesion from the tape not grip as strong? |
