We had a wind chill of 23 degrees with wind gust of 40+mph this morning BUT, this ol boy and a buddy just had to have a look. BIG MISTAKE He has a 11 1/4" beard and his buddy's is at least 10"s. Been after him for several days. Hoping his buddy sticks around because I have one tag left.

Congrats to you Mountaineer. Yep is was a might windy today. You got a fine trophy.

23 degrees and 40 mph gusts?!?! That sounds like t-shirt weather here in tana! Congrats on the bird, hope you get his buddy, on a little warmer temperatures. 27 degrees up here at the house this mornin I may add without a lick of wind! Think I will head up for my spring bear tomorrow morning to see if they wanna poke their heads out for some fun with my ol .300 win mag
1st 20 ga bird. 870 youth 21" barrel with a Trulock and Federal #7's. shot him at 47 steps and I am here to tell you that little 20 hammered him. 10 1/2" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. I'm tagged out so now I'm gonna go with a couple different friends and do the calling and hopefully find some mushrooms.
thanks for the nice compliments y'all
Congrats on the tom.
It looks like you are using a shureshot stock. Are you shooting the factory beads for sights? If so, any problems with that combo?
Thats a rope and a paintbrush all rolled into one!
hey hobbes. you're right, that is a shurshot stock set on the 12ga 870. I tried it with sights but I went back to the factory bead set-up. I have NO problem what so ever. as a matter of fact I'm looking for a shurshot stock for that 20ga. that stock set (in my opinion) is the way to go. I've had the 12ga for almost 30 years and was skeptical about the shurshot but man I wish I'd done it when they first come out.
Great birds, congrats
Great gobbler,congrats!! :happy0064: :happy0064: :happy0064:

Thanks for the info. I can't find one in Montana to look at (I'm sure there is one somewhere), and was told by someone that it needed sights due to high comb. I bought my 870 Turkey Special in about 92, so mine is 25 yrs old. The stock needs a replaced and I've been carrying it instead of the,super mag.
Congrats again.
Good Bird. Congrats!!
hey hobbes. I'm surprised you can't find one to handle because they are very common (at least I thought so). a buddy of mine bought a super mag with that stock set and the first time I held it I was hooked. hope you get your hands on one soon.
A dedicated turkey gun just won't sell much in Montana. Lots of waterfowl and upland on the shelf. I'll probably just order the stock / forearm set.
