Who's ready for turkey season?

[24on48hunting]

We are too, however the fact is there are more turkeys killed from 10AM till 4PM, however we love the mornings, watching the sunrise slowly come up, a gentle fog lifting and watching the different animals scurry around, and the reverse in the evening, if you are gonna hunt, hunt all day long...

That about sums it up right there.
I didn't have much time to hunt last year due to a lot of remodeling work here at home. I plan on hitting it wide open this season. I have a solo gobbler picked out for my Daughter-he has been working one road in particular quite often. Hopefully, we will get him next weekend.

Good hunting, and good wishes to you, and your hunting partner, may your shot put that turkey in the kitchen pot...

Good luck to y'all...

I'm in for pics. If anyone can get him I know it will be her. Congrats on a fine hunting partner and daughter.

Thank you. She's a great kid.
I went to the lease again this morning and saw three strutters in a food plot all by themselves. I hope that they are lonely and lovesick come this weekend.

Good luck to ya'll. Does the youth season start tomorrow?

What loads are you guys using?

I use a Kicks choke in my Mossberg 835. I'm shooting 3 1/2" #5 Winchester XR Longbeards. Those are bad medicine on any bird out to 50 yards!

I think I have #7 shot with my choke screwed in. Should be fine.

Just ordered the Carlsons LongBeard XR choke. Talked to them on the phone and they say shooting with the Winchester LongBeard it will put 182 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards. I shoot the LongBeards anyways but was wanting to try a different choke this year. Can't wait for it to get here.

I always heard people going back and forth on whether #4 or #6 was the best so I just went in the middle so I had more range than one and more shot than the other!
