20 Gauge Turkey Guns / NostalgiaLast post by davisd9 - Today at 04:47:28 PMLast year I got the urge to step back from the synthetic, camo guns and get back old school, though not completely. I searched for a new Remington 870 20 ga with 21" or 26" barrel with the wood stock, but they seemed to had disappeared. The year before I looked at one several times but just could not put my hands on one. I had also looked at the Henry Single shots but was hesitant if it did not shoot bead.
After some research I discovered it was drilled and tapped so I could add a red dot if needed to or desired. I ordered one and she turned out beautiful. Shot her with a RSF and 9s and she shot bead dead on. Season got here quick so I toted her by hand. Was not bad, but sometimes a sling just comes in handy. Ordered some sling studs and got them installed. At Unicoi, Bryan Absher of Moonshine Leather works had some old style camo slings that caught my eye. I held off buying one but regretted it since. Reached out to Bryan during NWTF convention and he got my order down. Told me it would be a while as he was behind, but I guess he under promised and over delivered as it showed up today. It is beautiful and I am a happy turkey hunter. Has turned out better than I could have hoped! Look forward to many years of use!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk #44
Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: Never Fail Terrain Feature...Last post by Georgia Boy - Today at 04:43:42 PMRide roads looking for turkeys, walk logging roads looking for tracks, walk ridge sides looking for scratching and creek drainages. My point is burn tire tread and boot tread to locate several areas that hold SOME turkeys. Then come season see which area has the least pressure and dive into it. There might not be big numbers of turkeys there but if there is light or no pressure and you can find a gobbler willing to respond occasionally you've got a turkey to hunt that other hunters might not have messed with. Patience and persistence kills lots of turkeys. This might not be the answer you're looking for but it's the best I can do.

Turkey Calls / Re: Mouth call dudsLast post by CALLM2U - Today at 04:41:48 PMThat's been my experience.
Sometimes getting the powder that's on the latex cleaned off makes a difference. You can run them through water to flush it, or of course just keep using it and it will clear out. #46

Turkey Calls / Re: Mouth call dudsLast post by jdl80 - Today at 04:33:30 PMThe duds arent old worn out calls either. It takes me a few weeks of practice to get them broken in to my liking.

Turkey Calls / Mouth call dudsLast post by jdl80 - Today at 04:31:57 PMI'm pretty loyal to the mouth calls and call maker that seem to work best for me. I generally keep a good stock of them(3-5 of each type), in various conditions from season to season. Lately I've noticed some of them just sound absolutely horrible. Is it common to have one that's just a dud, coming from a pretty big and well known call maker? I'll buy multiple of the exact same calls and break them in all together most of the time.

General Forum / Re: Vest RecommendationLast post by Jordan121787 - Today at 04:06:24 PMI've had both the RNG 300 and the Sitka. You can't go wrong either way. My only complaint with the RNG is the pot call holders. It was a real tight fit and one of my pull tabs broke.
