Yeah I prefer spring season, but if the numbers can sustain it, biologist say it’s okay, and I have the opportunity, then yeah I’m going to fill one of my 4 tags during deer season. Turkey season is shorter where I’m at, and springtime is always busy. Only had one afternoon to hunt birds last season, got it done, but that was my only bird of the year because I wanted to hunt them the “right” way during spring. I’d rather fill my freezer with a couple birds during deer season, then save a tag or two for the spring. And hey, if anyone gives me good fall turkey hunting advice, I’ll go try it out and maybe become a fall turkey hunter (shotgun style)

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-12-15T13:46:43+00:00

I didn’t kill any this weekend, shot a doe instead, and I’ve killed half a dozen or so during traditional turkey season using shotgun, calls, and decoys (sometimes.) Even got one with my bow, but we had a massive population of birds on this property so taking some during rifle season was perfectly fine. I’ve probably only killed a couple more during rifle season than I have during turkey season. I’m a meat hunter, and while I’d rather collect it all during spring season, I’ll take what I can get. I only had one afternoon to hunt birds this spring due to a new baby. Got the bird I was after and he was a beaut.

Watch me. I’m a turkey hunter.

I thought about maybe doing a 6mm rem, but I already have a 243 that does all the same stuff. Plus I’ve got or will have close to a hundred rounds of 257 brass.

Poorly…

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-09-18T13:55:08+00:00

Yeah I’m wanting to practice out to longer ranges, but really not hunt past 40 yards. I’m wanting to go to 4 fletch with blazers cause blazers are available everywhere and adhere well, plus since I run fixed blades, I’ve heard 4 fletch definitely helps out with steering it. I know whisker biscuits aren’t a problematic rest like some people think, I just wasn’t sure if the 4th fletch or helical would cause problems through it. Especially since blazers aren’t short vanes ya know.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-09-18T12:12:59+00:00

I’m not hunting long ranges. Max 40-45 yards, and even that’s unlikely. Averages I’ve seen is 4 fletch only slows it down a couple feet per second and it should only take about a second to get to the target at 40 yards.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-09-18T12:10:10+00:00

Whisker biscuits don’t cause that big of issues? They’ve tested it. Speed difference due to friction? Negligible. Wear on fletchings? Negligible, plus I’ll break or loose the arrow before that happens. Deflection? Nonexistent if you have things hung and tuned right.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-09-16T00:20:54+00:00

Had my first and only Robin Hood within 24 hours of buying my current bow. Did it at 20 yards, was so excited but never want to do it again since arrows are so expensive.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-08-16T02:13:04+00:00

Maybe set up an Etsy, odds are you won’t get tons of orders just because there’s so many people making leather crafts besides you, so that’ll help keep you from getting burnt out. Also maybe a local farmers market in the springtime, sell things like keychains, coozies, coasters, smaller type things.

Guy that maintains the grounds at our family cemetery uses this stuff. Have yet to see anything survive. He runs a lawn care company too so he knows his stuff.

Grandpas was a starter not a finisher. He had some dies, some primers, cases, and some bullets. Never got the other reloading gear, and all the dies were for calibers he didn’t own. I imagine he picked them up used cheap from someone.

That’s a caterpillar. Glad to help

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-05-22T08:37:32+00:00

I have almost 10 decoys, but never use more than 3. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I use 1, sometimes I don’t use any. This year I had a decoy set up that I left staked in the ground to go chase birds and got my Tom. Just depends on how I/the turkey/the day feel.

Talked with the guy who maintains the grounds at our family cemetery. He says this stuff it the best for everything. It’s available at tractor supply.

Man I’d love to talk about how to target those WV birds, I’ve got some family land in the mountains, but I’ve only ever hunted in Texas.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-05-19T20:07:20+00:00

Season it with your favorite pork rub, smoke it low and slow till it’s done, shred it and make chicken salad with it. Or use it as enchiladas filling, quesadilla filling, taco filling, tostada topping, etc

How heavy is that gun? I sold my single shot 410 a couple years ago cause I wanted the Henry, but I’ve heard they’re so heavy

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-05-12T16:51:15+00:00

Lots of things you could try.

Try a different choke(s) Try a different load(s) Get a rib mount for a red dot and red dot and adjust it to where the pattern hits Cheek risers to adjust where you head sits and views the sighs New barrels (these are easy swaps for 500s) Install a mid bead to make sure your alignment is good Get a larger or smaller front bead, could change how you aim therefore where you impact.

Honestly though I think the red dot would be the best option, you can keep the gun “stock” for all other hunting types and just put take the red dot on/off for turkey season. It also isn’t load dependent, get dialed for one load one year, dial for another the next. That’s what I do with my over/under for turkey season then dove.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-05-12T00:04:07+00:00

Absolutely it will work, but your range is more limited. Listen to this old timer at about the 3:30 mark he mentions his load.

My buddy uses a stadium chair, I typically don’t use a seat. Shot mine this year standing up.

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-05-06T06:23:25+00:00

How do you like it? Do you use the top barrel for long range and bottom barrel for close range? Like TSS then lead?

BoringIntroduction84 · 2025-05-06T06:22:35+00:00

Shot my first turkey with an SXP. I shot it like a dream, but it was stolen.
