General Forum / Re: State Bag Limits- Too Many...Last post by JeffC - Today at 08:19:28 AMI think Jersey does a pretty good job on limiting permit sales per zone but totally agree with the lower numbers of birds around now, my zones sell out every year fast, unfortunately know a few local guys who are self-employed and kill a lot of Toms. I will get a permit for each week, hopefully hunt 1 day per week, but limit myself to 3 Toms. Haven't hit that limit in a longtime.

Turkey Guns / Re: 12 GA Versus 20 GA .... ?Last post by Tom007 - Today at 08:07:01 AMQuote from: Greg Massey on February 17, 2026, 09:35:37 AMI have 12,20,28 and 410 ... My favorite is the 28 gauge, it's a turkey killing machine and easy to carry.. X2 here, Greg. The Longbeard 6's do real fine out of my SBE 3 20 with the Carlson Longbeard .568 choke. The weight isn't worth the little pattern advantage of your on the move covering miles of ridge-tops. #43
General Forum / Re: State Bag Limits- Too Many...Last post by Tom007 - Today at 07:56:26 AMQuote from: quavers59 on Today at 07:48:01 AMI stopped last Spring of 2025 at 2 Gobblers in New Jersey to concentrate on New York more and help my Partner get her Gobbler. I think a limit of 2 would be fine. Obviously it would help dwindling populations. This winter here will certainly affect Northern NJ, minus temps, frozen snow on the ground for months could be a problem, stay tuned. IMO #44

I still think New Jersey should have a Max Spring Limit of 5 Gobblers. I know there is a Small group that knowing all the regs,Lightening Fingers during the early minutes of the" Over The Counter" day in March and just plenty of Time,Money, and most likely hunting both Private + Public-- are able to kill 8- 10+ Gobblers a Season- probably more as the upper limit is 25+ Spring Turkey Tags. Problem is this small group grows each Spring . 5 Max in such as small State as New Jersey. That is plenty enough. #45
General Forum / Re: Missouri Nonresident tag j...Last post by silent tom - Today at 07:47:41 AMPeople have came around to the modern day braggart turkey hunter with a camera in his face.
But it's too late now. You guys who embraced this keep sending Dave pictures of your bottomland thong and little THP Ted fantasy love letters. You may as well embrace what has happened. You want to see if you are turkey hunting for the right reason? Go kill a gobbler and tell no one. If the thrill is the same as telling people, you are doing what you love for the right reason. If you have to tell people to get a dopamine release, then you're part of the problem. The truth hurts sometimes. #46

General Forum / Re: Top 3-5 Hunting Items you ...Last post by mountainhunter1 - Today at 07:39:02 AMI gave away my Cody world class pot calls that I had (some of his very first he made) to a local church for a wild game supper for door prizes. It was the church - so it is not so much that I want them back - but I do think about what they are worth today.
I let friends talk me out of many of my Lonnie Mabry calls - and only have six of his calls today and wish I had thought that out a little better as well. I live just 45 minutes from Billy Buice's door and never got a trumpet from him. I guess hindsight is always 20/20 but that sure was a blind man move. To my defense, I did not really get into air drawn stuff until 5-6 years ago. But still....I must have been drunk and did not even know it. Thanks Tom007 - I will probably think about this - especially the Buice deal the rest of the day. :-) #48
General Forum / Re: State Bag Limits- Too Many...Last post by kytrkyhntr - Today at 07:38:43 AMQuote from: WLT III on February 16, 2026, 09:03:36 AMBaiting, 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 so now youre not a self respecting turkey hunter if you harvest turkeys out of the population on the ground you own lol you guys always make solid points then go back and say the dumbest "look at me im a old school pro" comment ive ever heard. what is this your 3rd or 4th account on here? can you write out the old swamper pro turkey man pelican lalongbeard rules of engangement? I WANNA BE A PRO TOO GUYS PLEASE WRITE THE RULES OUT FOR ME. pat yourself on the back a little harder please #50
