General Forum / Re: Crows even eat turkey eggsLast post by Gooserbat - Today at 09:22:55 AMI read something about them getting 1.7 eggs per crow. Now that is not coon numbers but it's significant considering how many crows.
For what it's worth I've witnessed them and ravens eating turkey eggs. #2
20 Gauge Turkey Guns / Re: Affinity3 Turkey Bolt Issu...Last post by bwhana - Today at 09:18:39 AMGood advice provided already, especially on running very little lubricants.
They really should include a warning with all guns in the package on blaze orange paper that tells owners to completely breakdown and thoroughly clean the gun before use (not saying you did not, just adding this for anyone reading later on with less experience). My Stoeger and Franchi were filthy from the factory and I surgically cleaned them before ever cycling the actions. Zero problem with them. It is also important to shoot higher powered shells for a bit before going to lower power shells (according to many experts), but I only use mine for turkeys and they have only seen turkey loads the whole time. The only shell that would not cycle in the Stoeger was the Federal TSS due to the shell length, but I don't shoot those anyway. Have fun breaking it in and hope it goes well for you! #5

Turkey Pot Call & Strikers Classifieds / Re: WTS- Jimmy Schaffer Crysta...Last post by compton30 - Today at 08:38:24 AMQuote from: Wvgobbler on May 21, 2024, 04:43:24 PMThat's a really good call. Can't believe someone hasn't bought it. I've almost bought it a few times in case something ever happens to the one I have already lol. Doesn't leave the vest #7
Turkey Guns / Re: As 12ga goes, anything out...Last post by 10th Legionaire - Today at 07:37:29 AMI'm another 870 fan boy. I've got six of them in various set ups right now. They all shoot lights out and are as reliable as a bag of hammers.
I have not held or shot any of the post bankruptcy ones but have heard good things as above. He could either go that route or find an older used one and tart it up the way he likes. As for the Nova I've never shot one but have held/shouldered a couple and they just don't blow my skirt up. I don't care for the looks (personal opinion that is totally subjective) and they never felt good in my hands and didn't come to my shoulder right. Whatever he winds up with hopefully it makes him happy and gets him hunting.  #9
20 Gauge Turkey Guns / Re: Affinity3 Turkey Bolt Issu...Last post by sferraro7 - Today at 07:06:04 AMOk thanks Guys. I'm almost certain he's Got that thing drenched in oil by now. I'll clean it up and send a few boxes of 3inch shells through it, see if we can't break it in smooth.
Bottomland OG- Ive never had that problem either, although Ive never owned or operated a Franchi. Learned the hard way years ago that easing the bolt closed in an attempt to be stealthy results in a stealthy "click" though. This is definitely a different issue, the bolt seems to hang up before making that last quarter turn into battery. Ill melt the barrel this weekend see if it starts acting right. #10
Team Longbeards 2024 / Re: Who is still hunting?Last post by ruination - Today at 07:05:17 AMI lied, couldn't break the news to my (pregnant) wife so decided I've probably hunted enough during the week.
Good luck to anyone going strong, sadly I think my season is over. |
