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

Last post by novashooter - Today at 10:12:21 PM

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 - Today at 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!

Opening day public land 4-15-2024 filled my tag calling in three gobblers and shooting the biggest one after fly down. Nothing remarkable about the hunt or the bird, except he had 2 beards.

Following Saturday same public land, filled my tag after spending the day with a gobbler and his hens that remained in the middle of a herd of about 40 elk. Cat and mouse after they finally parted ways. Only remarkable thing about the bird is that he is the smoke gray phase I have been seeing on my scouting trips.

The next day,Sunday I filled my final tag shortly after fly down on private property. Nothing remarkable about the hunt or the bird.
