General Forum / Re: Turkey meat questionLast post by Shiloh - Today at 12:00:29 PMI buy a cheap $40 cooler from the dollar store. Use it to keep food and turkey breast in during the hunt. Of course the breast goes in a 1 gallon zip lock. Before we fly out the last morning move the meat into my gun case between the foam that protects the guns and fly it home right there. I got home last week about 12 hours after moving it over to the gun case and it was still almost cold to the touch.

20 Gauge Turkey Guns / Re: Affinity3 Turkey Bolt Issu...Last post by compton30 - Today at 11:51:33 AMQuote from: bwhana on Today at 09:18:39 AMGood advice provided already, especially on running very little lubricants. My Franchi also had an issue with the shell length on the Federal TSS. Easily remedied by buying a different brand. Other than that it's been Gucci. #6
2024 Scattered Flock / Re: I managed to score today!Last post by notsure - Today at 11:32:46 AMI'm finally getting around to posting a brief story summarizing my 2024 Spring turkey hunt. For starters, I missed a bird on opening day. I've been hunting turkeys for 21 years, and this is the first time I missed with a shotgun. (bow hunting is another story entirely). The Tactacam video shows the shot pattern hitting very low, completely missing the tom. I re-patterned the gun and made a subtle adjustment, but that didn't explain the miss. I flinched, BADLY, and that's all on me. At least I didn't wound the bird, which brings me to the primary reason I'm posting this story. As you know, I did manage to kill a tom, and on the very last day of my season. That's a first for me. Another first, at least as far as I know, is taking a bird that had been shot during a previous season and managed to survive. Looking at the attached photo, note the two very distinct pellets I pulled out of the tom's breast tissue (I shot a bit low!). The small silvery pellet came from my gun, a #9 TSS piece of shot. The much larger gray colored pellet was also embedded in the breast and appears to be a #6 tungsten shot pellet, although rougher in appearance (lots of flat sides) compared to the TSS pellet. Turkeys are very tough animals!
