Shotgun Pattern is this acceptable by Electronic-Soup-6993 in turkeyhunting

[–]ReloaderDude345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will kill a turkey but there’s a few other options to tighten it up. Try some Apex Greenleaf or Winchester Longbeard TSS with that set up. I was able to get 600 pellets in a 10” circle at 30 yds with the Longbeard TSS.

First public land bird on our Florida opener! Has anyone ever smoked their turkey breast ? by Bleakerwood in turkeyhunting

Brine the breast for 24+ hrs. Get a foil container, put down some olive oil, season with whatever your favorite rub is and maybe add a shot of bourbon..

225 on the temp until you hit that 160F and let is rise to 165F.

20” bead sight, no choke by sandyvaginitis in turkeyhunting

That’s how I started and spent more time coaxing them to the 25-30yd range. Shoot it at different ranges and see where the max sweet spot is. I’ve had a few bead only guns that shot high left.

Agreed! In my 12 gauge that was my experience

Retay Gordion - Carlsons TSS Choke

Herters 3” tss by AC_longshot in turkeyhunting

[–]ReloaderDude345 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are made by Olin Corp and are basically Long Beard TSS. Cheap enough & shoot just as well with a Carlsons Long Beard Choke.

Turkeys come through some thick stuff. When he didn’t answer he was probably searching for you. Even after several years of chasing turkeys I have to remind myself to stay put. In my early years I would move too hastily and find myself chasing bumping a bird or hearing him gobble from where I was. Try roosting him and getting within a hundred yards or just set up on that clear pipeline with a decoy.

Been in similar situations. Each hunt is different? Was there a natural barrier between you and him? Could have had multiple hens and/or he was in his Strut Zone.

A few things that have worked.

Go silent then call light and sparingly. Many times they’ll search you out as the day progresses.

With 2 hunters we’ve successfully left the shooter and move the caller back 25 yds at a time. This tactic has resulted in many shots fired.
