Hello, I would like to join a team for this season. I am out of Tallahassee, FL but will be hunting Alabama as well. I've already got a trip booked to go west to shoot Merriams as well so should be a good season. Thanks all!

Actually, I did get the information on the tagged birds that were killed. Mine was a 2-year-old tagged about a half mile from where he was killed. The bird was tagged with 12 other birds and at the time of tagging they were all jakes. The jake killed on the same property was tagged a few months prior to being killed. He was tagged with other jakes, but I can't remember how many were with him at the time of tagging. The biologist was tracking two hens on the property, one by my stand where these birds were captured on camera. They have radio collars on these hens. Unfortunately, the one lost a nest last year early into the breeding season and appeared to have laid another nest the last time I had contact with the biologist. I never did find out if the second nest hatched. One of the birds they had collared has been tracked for almost three, going on four years now. I will contact him soon to see if she is still being tracked.

General Forum / Re: 20 gauge lead load

Last post by Ihuntoldschool - February 20, 2026, 08:47:35 PM

Several reasons .

They dont fit/pack as well with the larger pellets.

They dont pattern any better than your 3 inch lead loads currently available.

Recoil. Alot of youth shoot 20 Gauge guns.

And the majority of your semiautos on the market are built for loads up to 1 1/4 ounces. (20Gauge).

You should sign up under the individual (free agent) signup thread. We will probably be all full with returning players.

Turkey Calls / Re: Alabama Cackler

Last post by Mauser - February 20, 2026, 08:35:07 PM

I called up my first bird with one when I was 12-13.That was 26-27 years ago. I've still got the original striker but my dad wanted the call back and lost it. I've been looking at them on eBay and can't make myself spend that much on one. Almost pulled the trigger on a graphite one a week ago. But I've never heard the the graphite one.
Hunted with a friend of Billy's who was runnin a hustlin hen before he started selling them.Seems like it didn't have the Purple Heart lid like the productions ones do. It was a sweet box.

I shot a gobbler at 20 steps with the federal 3.5" #9 tss shells a coworker gave me a few years ago. My oldest boy did the same at 30 yards with the same gun, load and choke the same year. It killed them. They don't pattern as good as apex loads on paper from what I remember. I typically dont use tss in a 12 gauge as it just doesn't make sense at the ranges I consider the game won. But free shells are free shells
