Turkey Guns / Bead or Red dot

Last post by Dedduc - Today at 09:46:41 AM

So who still shoots the bead after trying a red dot? I mounted a Meadow Creek mount on my M2 last year and had mixed feelings about it. Still seemed high to me but thought I would hunt with it. Long story short I missed my gobbler with the first shot at 25 yards, got him on the second but I feel like I hold my gun not as tight to my shoulder to still see the dot, head more off the stock. Thinking of trying a Sumtoy mount or just shooting the bead. Anyone else feel this way?

Anyone else have good luck with the Fioochi or Remington? I have about 50 rounds of APEX TSS but it is for me and 2 sons. We probably shoot 10 or so shells per year. I typically have been buying 4 boxes after the season on sale every year.

Box Calls / Re: Box lid question

Thanks for the input here. I'll definitely give this a go and see how it works. I was leary about using something too abrasive and changing the backbone of the lid up.

The scotch brite won't be bad for the paddle at all. It's just abrasive enough to get rid of the chalk. the pad won't be to good for much after that though.

Well I appreciate all the advice that everyone provided. My wife and I caught a concert at the grand ole opry on Wednesday and that was a great time. I wouldn't have thought of that if it weren't for the suggestion on here. The show itself was overwhelming. I'm not into crowds and was not prepared for how busy it was. And that was on Thursday when I went. My favorite part was visiting with all the call makers. Being able to play their calls and picking my favorite call on the table to purchase was an awesome experience. I think that I would really enjoy going to unicoi after experiencing that. I just wish unicoi wasn't during deer season. I left with several calls that I am very happy with.

Her favorite tool is Disease. When entire flocks disappear suddenly I am guessing it's disease. My cousins farm has been intensely managed for years and within one year the entire east side flock disappeared (on 980 acres) . Hunting and predators didn't do that. Perhaps the avian flue hit them. I heard a veterinarian virologist say avian flue was 100% fatal to turkeys.

I know one thing I believe as an absolute, removing one gobbler from a personal bag limit is a joke when it comes to saving turkeys. It's all fluff and propaganda. I done the numbers for Ohio and it came down to Approx. one gobbler per township +/- (23,000 acres) saved. That's a nothing number when it comes to flock preservation. The loud voices cry, "Do something" and the DNR do the most obvious and easiest. The NWTF and TFT are two very loud voices. They don't always get it right. The trouble is high ranking people see a problem in their little honey hole or state region  and cry, "The world is ending". It's not ending, but there are localized problems. What happens in Ga. may or may not apply in the northern states. 

I've been thinking the exact same thing. It seems it's a problem that's very hard to figure out, but removing (or not removing) males of a species was never a population control method.
