Title: Watcha buy'n new this year.
Post by: Gooserbat on December 26, 2013, 06:22:50 PM
We all do it every year.  We buy & try something new, be it a new diaphragm, new turkey load, custom box call, camo, turkey vest, or that new gun. 

Myself I need a couple pair of camo pants, and I intend to make the switch to HTL probably Fed Hevyweight, and a coyote howler.  I also need some nonresident turkey tags...probaly MO, KS and maybe NB, and I would love to get in on some early hunts like AL or MS.

As I do every year, I'm hoping to say that I am not buying anything new. That will probably turn out to be a lie when I go look at turkey vests sometime!

Other than that I'm always on the lookout for a good deal on shells, if I find some I'll pick them up.

I have a few little things I want to do. I want to get my FFIII cover and choke dipped in New MOBU, and I want to get one of those Quake claw slings.
Other than that, I feel like I am in a pretty good place. I have plenty of excellent calls, and my gun is dialed in with an excellent choke and load combo.
One thing I want to do is to continue to get better at turkey hunting. Can't put a price on that.

I always say i don't need nothing else.      But.

call makers are always posting on here, such nice stuff.

Sumtoy owes me a turkey choke , he just don't know it yet. Soon as i decide what gun and load i will send him some moo-la

New turkey loads to try out. Probably more coming?

Modification to guns . dipping etc.   Oh boy.

I got an inside track on the last flock that's hidden deep in the pine woods.

Not much on my turkey hunting wish list this year besides the annual trip.
I just got a new mouth call in before Christmas.  I'll order a few more but that's about all I can think of for this spring.
But I reserve the right to think of something before season arrives! ;D

Lord knows I really don't need anything!!!  But its an addiction I've faced that music many years ago....so with that being said I could use a new vest....I've had my elite vest for about 7 yrs now.   But I'll probably keep it one more season I've sowed the pockets on it many times over and just love the vest....its been the best I've ever had.  But I'm probably going to focus on a new choke for my Mossberg 935 I have a Jelly head and will probably change it up this year.  I also want a Harrison Hoot'n Stick.  So if I can make it by with just that I will be doing good...but the new Winchester turkey loads are really calling my name to.  Plus I've already ordered 4 new custom mouth calls.   Its an addiction I truly Love!!!  No drug out there can do what this addiction can! 

God Bless

Need a good pair of Turkey Hunting boots, with stiched on soles. Done with fused/glued on soles regardless who makes them. Need to relplenish my Hevi-13, and I might pick up a Halloran Crystal Mistress.

I need two people ahead of me to turn down their tag in florida so I have my first chance at an Osceola.  Outside of that I was thinking about adding a couple extra hens for the Merriams that always seem to be flocked up clear into June where I hunt. I would benefit from a new vest, but just can't seem to let my first vest go.  Pry get a couple fresh diaphragm calls for me and maybe get my mom some things so she can try to hunt on her own this year.

I never know what I may buy. I bought my dad and brother a Halloran pot for Christmas this year. after playing with them I wouldn't mind getting one for myself.

Post by: Gobblerjim on December 28, 2013, 08:39:48 PM
Some woodhaven mouth calls and a halloran pot call. Got my Florida tag. Should be a good year.

Post by: PALongspur on December 28, 2013, 09:11:03 PM
Can't say there are a lot of items on my "to do" list. Probably some fresh mouth calls from Denny Gulvas. I'm anxiously awaiting two box calls from Ed Terefencko, hopefully they'll be in my vest by opening day.

Speaking of vests, this will be my 7th season with my Super Elite III. Not really in need of one yet but I would be interested in a new one if someone else started making these again.

Post by: Woodsman4God on December 29, 2013, 07:22:26 AM
Well I have quite a laundry list which not all will get done. When i got sick last year many little things got put on hold, Turkey wise I would like to get a few new mouth calls and possibly another type of locator call. Also a new face mask.
as for the rest of it in no particular order

Components and equipment to handload for a 308 I recieved as a Christmas Gift ( will post pics later, sweet gun)
Savage 220f Bolt action shotgun
Carlson/browning/Brileys rifled choke tube for other shotgun
New sight for my mossberg (if needed think my scope is bad)
Mueller 2 x 7 Multishot scope
Larger platform hang on tree stand
Youth safety harness
2 man stand
Reloading press for 20 gauge

Thats the bulk of what I want to buy , however not all of it will get done. But they are all on my list

Do not really Need anything, except for some snake gaiters, being I'm hunting an area known for poisonous snakes.

Hey guys, Haven't been here in awhile. Been taking care of a neighbor. This year I've decided to concentrate on my Winchester rifle collection. Crazy right?

I need hunting pants , I tear up pants like crazy -- I'm gonna get some proper brand bdu pants in multicam pattern and hope they can hold up to the punishment -also  I might try and get a easy to set up 4 man tent , the type that folds out in a minute and you can jump in and get some sleep real quick

Don't need gun stuff or game calls I'm set in that department for sure

Got a DSD hen to go with the jake I bought last year. Named them Judas and Jezabel  :funnyturkey: Found a "new to me" 870 supermag on gunbroker a month ago. Other than that probably shouldn't need anything else.

I would be ready to go in about 15 minutes if the season opened tomorrow.  What I need most is a few new places to hunt and the time to learn 'em.
