Send me that decoy and let me try it!!!

wouldn't have any other than my 24 SBE II . just think with a ported extended choke your back at 26"

my mossy oak Bob Dixon limited edition vest is awsome

NIce!!!! I hope I get to put one up to look at.

There is a green field on top of thise ridge out on the point. the whole point is the property line and there is a road cut all the way around. I walk up the mountain and around the road to get to the field and I can walk very quiet as it is kind of sandy. This tom must be homesteaded on top. and there is another field on the other side of this same point probably 300 yards apart.I can get in there before daybreak with no problem but If I move to the other field or go down in the bottom after hours of waiting is when I sneak up on him. We take each other by surprise and he never gets spooked or runs' he just slowly feeds away. These turkey are subjected to humans constantly so they are use to it. I hunt on top on the weekends because the owners nephew hunts in the bottom with some friend on the weekends and that just keeps down any problems., but he don't hunt up there because its a hard climb but thats all good too. But these turkeys go from the bottom fields up over this point to some fields on some other property within 100 yards of the property so its heavily traveled. This point is probably 150 to 200 yard deep and 400 yard wide cliffs on 3 sides. I very rarely not see turkerys when leaving or coming in after daybreak,

no gobbles here in two days of season. Have seen no activity that I can tell that they are mating. toms bythemselves and hens walking around feeding. seen no chasing or struting, just don't seem like they are ready to mate. I dont know just my 2nd year but I am seeing them.

Well the toms I have bumped have all been by themselves and the hens I have seen passing through two or three just feeding and no toms around and not a peep out of anything, was just wondering if its just not time to mate yet. went today and same thing slipped up on the tom again probably should have taken the shot as I had a pretty good opening on the head, but I didn't take the chance. Would be nice to shoot him full strut as he is kind of cinamon color but another oportunity he he may go because I don't know how many times he will let me bump him, and third times the charm

Went hunting today no gobbling no chasing. Just wondered if we are wasting our time calling as they seem to ignore it. It seems we do just as well stalking without calling?

I am gettin chill bumps thinking about those crisp daybreaks with gobblin turkeys on each ridge......................................

That Mudhen must be a professional photagrapher

So hard a caveman can't do it

Hey preacher don't get mad. You probably do have a problem, we just thought maybe you were new to choke patterning on turkey targets, and that when you said 25 that you were talking in the vitals. Anyway come back and let us know what the deal is with the gun. These guys in here are proud Benelli owners and just want to head off the benelli bashers. And if you come back the anyone that offended you will also be the ones to help you the most

Don't know but if it is not ported those 3 and half inchers will kick your a?? . So it you are going to spend money get one that is ported to reduce kick

Jr thats what i was trying to get out of him. I pattern for spine and brain and 25 in there is good. I am with you meat shots don't count

whatever patterns best. maybe more knockdown with lower number, but more chances with higher number. fives or sixes for me

150 in the circle ,or turkey neck spine and head? I can get plenty in the turkey from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, say 100 . when i say 25 I mean in those little yellow vertabrae down the middle of the neck and the little brain at the top. If you can only get 25 in the complete head and neck out to its outline I would say you have a problem

I think most of us would like to see fifty and a hundred shots in the neck and vitals but dont think its going to happen at 40 yards.

I am sure its 25 in the neck and spine and brain. Thats like killing the same turkey 25 times

you gotta click through and watch the videos. Awsome. there are several different ones on you tube that are better

would love to have one of these to turkey hunt with try youtube if the link don't work http://midamericarecreation...

I just figured that after 40 yards the pattern quickly opened up reducing lethal percentages and reducing confidence

I have some mag shocks also I will try. but i think they are no. fives

so was it better or worse than the jellyhead?

Is the magazine chamber and parts cleaned and oiled. That second shell has to come out of the mag smooth and quick.
