There's was a fair amount of clay in Ms not so much in Mo.

I thought the less aggressive sole would have traction issues walking through wet leaves on uneven ground but that's not the case.

Have you walked in any clay? Lots of slick orange clay where I hunt in Tennessee. Definitely need an aggressive sole here.

My toms fear no deer. In fact they will chase them out of the yard pretty quickly.

I have walked up on flocks of late fall/winter birds standing among herds of deer many times.

If a deer snorts at you, but can't see you, blow back at them. Not snort, blow. Now you're a deer. This has saved hunts for me.

Vintage Turkey Guns / Re: Old guns and old ammo

Yeah. BB isn't legal in the Spring so that'd be your reason not to shoot that. (Nothing bigger than #2 fine shot) .  You could load 2 for the body or 3 (preferred) if you can find it. I think you nailed it on size 6 for the head shots inside 40. 

You can always jug choke to add a little constriction too.

That is entirely up to your local regulations. I know a lot of states don't allow over a certain shot size, but a lot do not. Here in South Dakota, there is not much of a shot restriction. It just says "no buckshot", presumably 4 buck and larger. BB is perfectly legal here. It's really odd too, because slugs are legal for turkeys, as are handguns. Just no rifles, centerfire or rimfire. I'd have to double check, but I think air rifles are allowed if they hit a certain energy or velocity. Presumably a guy could take a rifled slug gun and Remington Accutips and shoot a turkey here. Kinda odd buckshot isn't legal, not that I would ever use it or recommend it. I can't imagine shooting a turkey with a 1 oz Remington Slugger either. I would like to get one with the revolver though.

20 Gauge Turkey Guns / Re: Rem 870 21” Barrel

Last post by yelpy - May 03, 2024, 09:57:45 PM

Here is my compact Fieldmaster. Shooting Apex 9's with Tightwad choke. Gorgeous hunting pattern at 40 but not crazy tight closer. I'm sure it could go much tighter as well if needed.

Can you tell me what stock that is?

Mesa Tactical Urbino

Thank you!

I have taken my share of turkeys with multiple deer in view near by.
