Title: Longbeard XR's at Wal Mart
Post by: TN Beard Buster on March 03, 2014, 04:46:12 PM
Just went to my local WM and they have recently set their turkey stuff out. They had about 10 boxes each of 3 1/2 and 3". They were the same price as MPW. Be on the lookout if you're interested.

Just went in my local walmart today and they had about ten boxes of 3" 5's. I wanted 6's so I got turkey thugs instead.

Wal mart sporting goods are stocked according to section manager preferrences, or so I am told. Explains why you see some that stock good stuff and some that stock nothing at all. I always leave disappointed at our local store when I go check it.

CASH--At least there is a promise of new merchandise coming soon.  Living in the northwest, WalMart here doesn't stock anything for turkey hunting.  Last year I saw that guys on the forum were talking about Turkey Thugs shot shells from WalMart so I hustled right over only to find out that not only did they not have any but they had never even heard of them.  Go figger...

Bass Pro in P'ville is carrying 4 and 6's but not 5's.  Academy had no idea what I was talking about even though they have them on the website.  I will check the WalMart this afternoon.

No Longbeards at the P'ville WalMart either.

Do they still have a good selection of the Supremes and Double X?
Title: Re: Longbeard XR's at Wal Mart
Post by: Skeeterbait on March 05, 2014, 09:46:02 PM
I saw several boxes of High Velocity, a few Double X and one box of Thugs.  Didn't pay any attention to what length and shot they were, they weren't what I was looking for.

I tell you the days of running and picking up a box of your favorite shells at the store day before the hunt is over.  When you come across what you want, better buy all you can afford.  Yes I understand this is also adding to the problem but you don't want to be the one without any shells and can't find any.

Just stopped by local WM and picked up another box of 3 1/2 #5's for $21.97.  They only have about 10 boxes of these left on the shelf.

Our WM store only has turkey loads from 2012, nothing newer!

But the local Farm & Home store has got several cases of all the newer Winchester, Remington and Federal loads. I bought some of the LB 3" and 3.5" in #4s, #5s and #6s this afternoon.

I'm ready  :z-guntootsmiley: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Checked my local Walmart today and all they had were #4 3in & that they didn't make them in  #5 & #6. I don't think the guy behind the counter knew what he was talking about anyway b/c he said these shells were not new and Winchester had a new turkey load out this season. I told him this was the new shell and that they did make them in different sizes but he still just wanted to argue. Wish I would have still had the box of #6 that I bought at Bass Pro b/c I would have taken them in to show him. Nothing worse than having a battle of wits with an unarmed person......

That happens to me a lot and I just like to mess with them just to see how much crap they will feed me.

None here at the Walmart in Tilton, NH.
I picked up a box of the 3" #6 thugs to try though. For under 10.00, if they pattern well, they will be  hard to beat.

I checked my Wal Mart yesterday and they didn't have them.  I was surprised they had any turkey stuff at all.  Usually they are way behind other locations.  About half of the turkey calls they had in stock had Si Robertson on them.

My two local walmarts didn't have any. I traveled to Washington PA to go to Gander Mountain and get some longbeards in #4's. They had all the sizes. Walmart in Washington had just 3" #5's in longbeards.

Never will figure out why Tullahoma has more Turkey stuff than Winchester WM.
Then again, maybe they have sold them all already.
