Diaphragm Mouth Call Soundfiles / Re: Gooserbat OSS

Last post by strum - February 18, 2026, 03:49:00 PM

Pretty much the only call I've used for the past two years. Sam is a great guy and makes some really great calls. I'm going to pick a few more of these up from him next week. If you like a ghost cut, this is a really good one! It has a really clear front end and a good amount of rasp on the back end.

Billy and I traded at least 1 call a year, always in person, with the words this is for you. The last few years we both knew that the other was not able to hunt, but it was a part of us that we were leaving with the other, because we lived so far apart and couldn't see each other often. All of these calls are priceless because that's all I have left of him. Some thing you can't put a price on, to me and a lot of other people Billys calls are one of them.

This is awesome, thank you for sharing.

Things I don't regret selling - Mossberg 535

Same....only a Mossberg 835.

Clunkiest piece of plastic scrap I ever owned.  Felt like a 4x4 deckpost in my hands.

The GOOD news was....  I turned it over in under a week for a nice profit.   

It's definitely a brutal gun but it's also killed a bunch of turkeys. My 20 gauge with TSS is doing just fine though.

Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: Whats in your satchel?

Last post by patternfreak - February 18, 2026, 03:30:23 PM

I have the minimalist satchel. I tote two pot calls, 3 or 4 strikers, 2 trumpets, various mouth calls, an owl hooter, a crow call, extra battery for a red dot, screwdriver for red dot battery change, lens cloth for cleaning red dot, dude wipes, facemask, gloves, flashlight, shells, a little tape measure, a snack bag, and a big yeti water bottle.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple things, but the pockets make fitting everything a breeze. I can't imagine needing more stuff than what I can fit in the minimalist satchel

Turkey Guns / Re: Bead or Red dot

Last post by bwhana - February 18, 2026, 03:28:34 PM

I went from the bead to a dead ringer when I switched to LBXR. More for close range shots than out to 40. The tighter patterns required it for me and was not much different with tss. Once the reading glass disease started, I couldn't see both the ring and front bead, so went with red dots. Astigmatism makes them blur a touch, but tolerable. If that gets worse, I'll get a prism scope or quit. The evolution story of aging!

Have you tried a reflex with a green dot? I have an astigmatism as well. My Leupold Delta Pro and a Sightmark, both in red, are blurry for me. I bought a Holosun 507C green and it's perfectly clear. I've read that green can be better for some people with astigmatism.

Yes, I have a green dot on my ATI Nomad and it is much better than red, but still a little blurry.

Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: Favorite Vests?

Last post by patternfreak - February 18, 2026, 03:26:27 PM

Never thought I'd go vest-less but gave Glenda's minimalist satchel and her seat a try last season. Man I loved it.

Did a long weekend in the VA mountains hunting some of the steepest country there is. Walked 30 miles in 4 days. Can't imagine doing that with a vest.

I've found myself using the innertube seat for a lot of other things too. I ground hunted for deer with it with my bow. Put it on top of a rolling stool while making up electrical outlets and boxes all day. Etc. etc.

I'm one of those weird guys toting a satchel to the woods, but for my style of hunting it sure is nice

I'm fine with the 1 bird limit but not so much the huge price increase AND reduced limit. That will sure enough have the Ziplock gang feeling like they need to get their money's worth. Dumb move imo!
