A buddy and I killed a double on fall turkeys in 2008. I posted this many years ago and then youtube deleted it because there was something wrong with my account. So I downloaded it again on youtube. Here is a 15 minute clip from 45 minutes of video. I tried to cut out as much as I could but there was soo much good video it still came out over 15 minutes. I'm sure you'll enjoy all of these turkeys. There is over 100 in all and many more that were not on camera.

GOOD GOSH you sure you live in CA. Joe!!!! If we had a fall turkey season and fields with a 100 turkeys I would be worthless would vow to never pick up a deer rifle again!!! On top of that a freaking pellet rifle never even had a clue people killed birds with pellet rifles!! I think I am gonna move to CA!!! :fud: :newmascot: Very Cool clip! :welcomeOG: :icon_thumright:
enjoyed very much
Joe
That was awesome !! What kind of pellet rifle kills a turkey stone dead like that ? That first turkey looked like a house fell on him ! Great video !!
vaturkey :newmascot:
Cool video! Thats really cool how they didnt spook to bad after the shots. I'd like to try that, I just dont think the Daisey Red Rider I still have from when I was a kid will get the job done like that one did LOL!! Those pellet guns sure have came along way LOL!!
Great video Joe! Now I have to break it to the wife I'm moving to CA. :you_rock: :you_rock:
Nice video and I believe the power of a good pellet rifle at reasonable range. I have a Gamo and with the special pellets it is wicked. Is both the .177 and the .22 legal?
LOL great video Joe.
Mossy: This is the first year we can use the .177 cal for turkey hunting.
It's been .22 cal since they legalized it. I did not know they changed it to .177 this year. Thanks,

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing that, Joe..
thats awesome!
Joe they just changed it and the regs are up,if you haven't looked them up. I was siked since I can get on two to three ranch in the san diego area with a pellet gun. The .22 was a bit expensive for me to just go get one. And I already have a nice .177 that my dad bought a few years back. Im just a bit worried on how powerfull it will be. It shoots I think about 1100fps,we've been testing the crap out of it. But I still for some reason have my doubts.

Try the non lead pellets they are faster and will do the job (yes they are more expensive but not that bad) I had 50 free when I bought my .177 and they will make a dent in the bullet trap where the lead will not. Just my experience but I hope it works for you.

The issue I and many others have had with the Raptor PBA pellets you are speaking of above is that they are really unreliable with fps and they tend to be less accurate. Lots of flyers. This is just my experience, and from reading online seems to be the vast majority of other airgunners.
Wow that is the first I had heard of the flyer's and I do not doubt you. My experience has been as below with both hollow point lead and the Raptor PBA from a .177 Gamo at about 35 feet using a rest. Now I am no expert but they do a number on field rats as I shot many last year.

Very nice! I shoot a GAMO Big Cat 1200, and the Raptor pellets are supposed to break the sound barrier. Unfortunately, in my case, they do about 1 in 5 shots, and from numerous reviews online they vary greatly when shot through a chrono. I stick with the cheap crosman premier hollow points, they do the job just fine :icon_thumright:
Yes I shoot the hollow points a lot also and they do a number on the rats (that is all I use it for and target practice). Guess when I get back I need to shoot a few more of the PBA's and see how they do (think I have shot about 10 or 12 so far in a couple of years). Still hard to believe they are legal for turkeys,

Be good to hear another's experience as well. Yeah, it is hard to believe.
Oh and mossy, those hollow points do a number on squirrels and groundhogs too. :angel9:
Ground hogs I could get away with but the squirrels here and the wife are good friends they eat and she feeds them. Years ago I used to kill a lot of rattle snakes with an old Benjamin pump up .22. Always one shot and a dead snake. I will post again after my turkey hunt this weekend.

That pellet rifle was either a RWS 48 or RWS 52 recoiless model more than likely. They make a Chinese version of RWS model 48 for a lot less money but I forgot the model. I have a Beeman GS1000 that will drop turkeys just like that. All you do is aim for the head with a scope on the gun with accurate pellets. I shot a rat with mine at probably 40yds and hit right where I aimed. Mine shot around 1000fps. I had a RWS 48 at one time. To give you the idea of the power it had, I shot completely through the head of a big groundhog at about 15yds. That gun was rated at 1100fps.
Now this is only 10yds, but it will show you the accuracy of these guns with very good pellets. Those RWS R10 pellets will shoot extremely well. I shot this group with my Beeman GS1000 off of my sons foosball table and some blankets folded up and out my walkout basement. I shot a pellet at the board and used that pellet as my target. That is 5 shots. I was using a Bushnell Banner 4-12x40mm scope.
And I don't know what kind of wood that was but it was extremely hard. I have killed some squirrels with this gun and a lot of blackbirds. It will shoot right through a blackbird at 40yds.
nice, GAMO has never done me wrong. I don't trust the chinese version of air rifles, but RWS is a great company.
I just checked the last lead HP i bought and they are BRRAUG AMMOTEC Gmbh made in Germany They are called Super H Point with o.45 g and 6.9 gr on the lid. They will stop a rat in it's tracks and seem to hold a tight pattern also. They are not as fast as the PBA is but they tell me the impact is deadly.
Joe, very cool video of you and Kerry. What a great spot!
awesome video
that's one bad pellet rifle
Now that was a big bunch of Turkeys! Cool hunt too! And with a pellet gun!!!!!
