I'm sure this has NOTHING to do with crowds. I also bet NO ONE clicked on it because it is LA, one of the harder places to bag a public bird for the chasing 49 people

Federals won't throw the same numbers as Apex in most guns, but it's more than sufficient for shooting turkeys 40 and in. 

Agree with this comment and have shot both 20-ga and .410 Federal #9 with great success!

Just curious, did you compare patterns with both or are you assuming the pattern will be a little less impressive being that the Federal has 1/8 oz less shot than the Apex?

Thank You!

I should have stopped my quote response with Federal as I have not patterned Apex. 

Of what I have patterned, Federal #9s have done the best.

Just say you love your fav tuber.

If covid did it why have state agencies hired several of the YouTubers to advertise hunting opportunities in their area??

I mean hell everyone was running to the woods because they was off work.

Those same agencies had to change the rules on non residents within 2-3 years of hiring the YouTubers.

I'm partially guilty of it myself, I got into elk hunting partly from one of the groups way back. You heard me, the YouTubers, BEFORE COVID was even a thought

2/3rds said they had more time for hobbies?? Yea the same ones who were already hunting

I do and know many people who travel all over hunting many species, I just about never run into new traveling hunters that aren't all about THP.

I've never once heard "yea man since Covid I really like hunting.

I've run into a ton wearing THP gear mentioning things they've watched on YouTube and how they ended up in locations


I bet MANY others will chime in and mention the same.

How can COVID and videos pop up relatively close to the same time yet you THINK YouTube had no impact but covid is all of the impact? These videos have sometimes hundreds of thousands of views. Many from people trying to figure out where they at so they can go.

I hunt where THP started videoing in the south. They name people that it's very easy to know where they at. I've watched the crowds come in the following years. 

If anything Covid just gave them time to research places to hunt, THROUGH YouTube.

So you didn't read the articles?  Or are you just choosing to go with your feelings over data? 

2/3rds of people picked up a NEW, hobby.  NEW. You know, like deer hunters who picked up turkey hunting (because it's awesome) 

I travel the country as well and I've rarely meet anyone who mentions THP.  So I guess our experiences cancel each other out, huh?  Do you see how invalid that viewpoint is?  You have to go with data, and the data all points to that having a bunch of time off to explore new hobbies during the pandemic changed our world. 

But I guess you're free to only consider your feelings and opinions rather than pursue data, facts and truth. 

Best of luck to you.
