Turkey Gun Sights & Optics / Re: Benelli thread diameter?Last post by the Ward - Today at 09:30:46 AMIt's not a screw in bead, but i have the Champion Easy Hit 3mm fiber optic bead on several shotguns. It comes in two lengths if i remember correctly, a 5" and a 3" I think. I have the shorter ones. The are held on by super strong tape, and are not moving once installed. I'm in the same boat with the old eyes issue!

10 Gauge Turkey Guns / Re: Currently available non-TS...Last post by the Ward - Today at 09:21:34 AMFederal has the Grand Slams in 10 gauge. They use the flite control wad I believe. I have been meaning to pick up a box to try out for a while now, just been way too busy to get to it. Sumtoy makes a choke for the heavyweight federals that use this wad, it might be the ticket with the grand slams?

General Forum / Re: best tss alternative stoeg...Last post by zelmo1 - Today at 09:19:37 AMThe Federal #7 Heavyweights were great 20 gauge ammo. The longbeards are great lead, but if you compare them to TSS you will be very sad. They should give you a 35 yard gun with the right setup. But make no mistake, you can't beat a 12 gauge if you shoot lead. It's just physics, you can't fight science. Z

General Forum / Re: Name No StatesLast post by GobbleNut - Today at 09:00:42 AMQuote from: Tom007 on Today at 07:37:44 AMGreat job Trent. 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! I wouldn't personally condemn her to quite that degree...yet. Hunting in the west most of my life, I can tell you that spring gobbler hunting has been slow to catch on and many hunters out here approach turkey hunting like they approach other big game hunting. Simply put, the ethic accepted by those of us that have been doing this a long time...which is to back out if someone else in there before us...has not fully developed among western turkey hunters as of yet. Not only that, but to a lot of westerners, turkey hunting is just a casual pastime...picking up a gun and going hunting just because it is a hunting season they can participate in during the spring. Knowledge of the sport and the established ethics of long-time turkey hunters isn't even in their vocabulary. Not only is that ethic still in its development phase out here, there are a couple of other complicating factors at play. The first is that Merriam's turkey populations in most places they exist are not uniformly dispersed across the landscape. The birds are often concentrated in specific areas with lots of dead space between them. The second factor is that Merriam's gobblers are much too willing to give away their locations. Those scattered gobblers are perfectly willing to let everybody know they are there...and as such, hunters tend to concentrate where they hear them, often coming from several different directions. The result of all of the above is exactly what Trent...and many of us that live and hunt out here...must deal with on a somewhat regular basis. Hopefully, Trent spoke with Donna long enough to at least make her think about things...and maybe adjust her approach to spring gobbler hunting. However, there are a lot more "Donna's" out here in this part of the country. #40
