  1. 2024 turkey rigs

    Thanks for the info. I found some at Adventure Outdoors.
  2. Place to coyote hunt

    You don`t have to wait on the "coyote hunts" to open. You can kill yotes anytime during small game seasons on WMAs that are open for small game. You can use small game weapons which include .22mags, .17s. For a few years we were allowed centerfires during small game seasons(for furbearers), but...
  3. 2024 turkey rigs

    TSS is awesome in some of the guns, but not worth the cost, in my opinion. Heck, when I first started turkey hunting, I killed some with 12 ga. 2 3/4"inch field loads.(lost a couple, also), Later, went to a 3" gun, then a 3.5"(835), then to a 20 ga 3". The 20 is all I neeed. I sold the 835, but...
  4. 2024 turkey rigs

    I found a few boxes at AO. Bought 3 boxes, $25 each. One of them is yours if you still want it. #5 shot.
  5. 2024 turkey rigs

    I tested Longbeards and TSS in my gun. Longbeards patterned the best at 35 yards. This was with the ACCU choke. Going to a Longbeard choke now, made by Carlsons.
  6. 2024 turkey rigs

    I will be glad to if I go. I am going to call first, after I check Adventure Outdoors. Thinking maybe a closer Academy might have them, I stopped at Academy in Cartersville while ago. They had plenty of Winchester 20 ga. "Double X" turkey loads but no "Longbeard XR". I ordered a Carlson...
  7. 2024 turkey rigs

    Worth a trip to me. Thank you.
  8. 2024 turkey rigs

    After years of a 3.5 inch 12 gage, I went to a 20 gage half way through last season. I bought a camo Mossberg 500, accu-choke. It put same amount of shot in turkey target at 35 yards as the 12 ga. 3.5 did. Killed a bird with it. This season the 20 will be used with a Longbeard XR(Carlson) and...
  9. Squirrels

    Some good info here. Warmer days, after cold or windy days, are better this time of year. I see more the last hour before dark. Yesterday, in the 60s temp, they were everywhere.
  10. Senior Friendly Bird Shoot

    I received a birthday gift two years ago to Southfork. I really enjoyed it, pen-raised quail and all. I grew up on wild quail hunting, but was not disappointed at all. Good folks there. I`m sure they will work out a deal for those who can`t walk far. Fortunately, I can still walk the fields at...
  11. Corn Vending Machine?

    I don`t use bait. Still do well. Each to his own.
  12. Do you know what this is?

    American Indians preferred the wood for bows. I know where some trees are in Polk county.
  13. How do you wash and store your hunting clothes?

    Wife washes hunting clothes with the other clothes in whatever detergent is on sale. I hunt in same clothes for days or more, smelling like wood smoke and whatever Old Spice deoderant was on sale. I pee and spit snuff outa the stand. Some camo, some whatever. Orange vest which smells like smoke...
  14. Dove Shoots

    I went to Mackentire VPA this morning before dawn. When sun came up, no birds, no crop to speak of. Then went on Coosawattee, fields didn't make a crop except for weeds. Then went to Berry College. Gate was closed. Decided to not walk in and look. I don`t trust gate to be open in the morning...
  15. Pics of “Women and Kids” rifles

    I used a .243 for muleys and antelope in Wyoming back in the 90s. Did fine. 100 gr Winchester softpoints. Still got two .243s.
  16. COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PIG POPULATION!

    I agree. I dont use bait, trail cameras, or scents, and have managed to kill a couple hundred deer in the past 55+ years of deer hunting. Some good racks, too. More of these came off of WMAs than came off private land. The quality of woodsmanship these days is way down. Too many kids are being...
  17. Quota Hunt Applications

    Six rejections got me on Seminole 3 years ago. Good luck.
  18. Luck

    I don`t believe in luck. "Luck" comes from the name "Lucifer". Most of us know who that is. I read the 91st Psalm most mornings before I hunt. That is all-day protection.
  19. Where the doves at?

    A storm up north will push them down sooner or later.
  20. Public land in N Ga?

    You can`t judge all public land by one or two bad experiences. Some WMAs have way less pressure than others. I hunt private and public land. Have killed more deer on WMAs than private land. I have hunted public for 50 years with no horror stories. I know a few guys who won`t hunt WMAs due to a...
