Turkey Guns / Re: 12ga A300 setup

Last post by tddeangelo - February 08, 2026, 08:47:44 PM

Very familiar with Meadow Creek.... used one on my 870 and then moved it to my A300 20ga.

I've given thought to moving it again to the 12ga A300 and putting the 20ga's sight on the receiver. My 20 is a Turkey model and has the D/T'ed receiver.

I do kinda like the sight out on the rib, though. It puts the Holosun brightness adjustment right at my left thumb when I'm shouldering the gun, and with astigmatism, I run the sight as dim as I can and still see it, which really helps eliminate starburst. Having it where it's not hard to adjust on the fly is helpful.

LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Calling VS Experience/Wood...

Last post by YoungGobbler - February 08, 2026, 08:41:26 PM

I agree woodsmanship is a must, but as you get older I put more emphasis on my calling.

After you pass the age of 65 you will understand my comment...
 

As some of my grand uncles say... They walk really well in the woods    Meaning they'd rather wait them then go and search them

Turkey Calls / Re: Call Display

I have been slowly accumulating a little collection of stuff I really like but it's been strewn all around my house. My wife had enough of that so this is my brand new setup for my office so I can enjoy looking at all of the pieces I love most. Pretty happy about it, what do yall think

General Forum / Re: Practicing your calling?

Last post by Stick - February 08, 2026, 07:44:41 PM

I ran a fresh mouth call yesterday for the first time since last turkey season. It was decent enough, but I'll build confidence dialing in volume and inflection over the next month. Been running my trumpet a little at a time in the shop since December. Those two are about all I use unless I'm just desperate. 

I apply a lot of the same tactics calling gobblers that I learned calling ducks.  Sometimes you have to stand on them and sometimes you have to be soft and seductive. I really ain't much on them that don't like a yelp! Get them interested and then back off just enough to make him come to you. You have to read his temperature and act accordingly. Knowing when not to call is as important as knowing when to call and what to say.
