Turkey Calls / Re: Ben Lee

Last post by crow - Today at 08:26:14 PM

No one gives these single slates any credit for being turkey killers. Run the call and learn to open and close the sound chamber that you make by cupping this style call in the palm of your hand. Some of these get louder than others and truth be told you don't need to call loud to get a turkey's attention. From fighting purrs, clucks, normal purring and yelps this call will do it all and sound great. Practice with it and I'm sure you will be surprised with the results.

I do, Ralph Snodgrass (Lightning Strike Calls) makes a great sounding version of one of these. I carry one on every hunt.


In the eastern hardwoods a gobbler can hear a cluck a couple hundred yards off. I like suction yelpers but on most hunts, this style slate would be about all you need

General Forum / Re: 20 gauge lead load

Last post by Gooserbat - Today at 08:25:38 PM

Gooserbat:  For what it's worth if I were to shoot lead again out of a 20 gauge it would be nickel plated and either #6.5 or #7 in as heavy as payload as possible.

     Help me understand why nickel and 6.5 or 7's, I am generally running #4 lead, I like the ummph.    I'm not trying to get in an argument, I'm learning about nickel.

It's my opinion and please read that again "my opinion" that finding the sweet spot where pattern density correlates with on target pellet energy and there is the least amount of diminishing return from either factor.  So for instance if you can get 150 in the 10" circle at 40 with a pellet that has enough energy to produce a clean kill at an beyond that range then see what it does at 45 and so on. Nickel plated lead has a harder surface an thus is more likely to have a tighter pattern.  Smaller shot has a higher pattern density and higher hit rato.  Downside is less energy.  Find the sweet spot and that's the max range.  Luck is always good once but physics is consistent and that is what I personally want.  Consistent results.

Agree there is no spot that won't fail, but I will take my chances on controlled burns done before the season any day.
