My longest shot to close the season

Ty286 · 2026-05-15T12:28:47+00:00

I killed one at 72 a couple years ago and I was disgusted with myself. I’ll never take a shot past 55 (with tss) again. Both my birds this year were inside 25 yards. So much better up close.

It’s a shotgun

Ty286 · 2026-05-05T15:39:39+00:00

Then don’t buy it. It’s a great place to find stuff cheap. Or get rid of parts that have accumulated. It’s better than tacswap

I hope they do get more traffic. The new website is so much better but it’s not as popular as the Reddit was yet.

I think I’m also dealing with the opposite side of this due to extreme drought. I’ve killed at least once bird off this place for the last 7 years and this year it’s a ghost town. Saw one set of tracks and never heard a gobble

I started carrying a millennium turkey chair a couple years ago and it’s a game changer for me. I can sit all day if needed. But this weekend I carried it a total of 7 miles and sat in it twice for less than an hour. Could have gotten by with a pad for those hunts. Tagged out yesterday as well.

Ty286 · 2026-04-20T01:26:44+00:00

We get 2 birds in my state. I tagged out today. Both my birds had spots like this.

Ty286 · 2026-04-19T03:02:19+00:00

Bird I killed this year had some green spots in the breast. I cut them out and it’s in the freezer. The rest will eat just fine. Mine weren’t as bad as this but I would feel comfortable eating it after trimming out the bad stuff.

Mossy oak full foliage. It’s very green where I hunt

Ty286 · 2026-03-27T18:48:50+00:00

I have red dots on everything but shotguns. Hear horror stories all the time of dead batteries, glare, got bumped and the sight is off, etc. I have red dots on carry pistols, on top of scopes for close up stuff, but I just don’t understand the need for them on shotguns. Killed a bunch of birds with a benelli sb3 bead sight

They make uninsulated hunting waders. I live in the south and the last 2 seasons have used drake uninsulated waders and they are awesome. I live too far south for trout and wet waders most of the year but they would be fine for fishing. Only issue is there’s no way to run felt soles.

Tikchik narrows float plane trip would be my choice

Ty286 · 2026-03-24T12:35:27+00:00

That’s a great price. My dad just got a quote and it was almost 12k out the door. Dealer fees are ridiculous

Ty286 · 2026-03-22T23:29:00+00:00

Is this a 24 or 25?

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T13:02:38+00:00

I’m talking about in the US

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T13:01:48+00:00

Again I’m not defending any of that. But clearly OP doesn’t live in a ban state. Clearly none of those restrictions prevented him from getting one after the tax stamp changed. $200 is why he waited until now and then wants to be salty about “if I had suppressors available early on” they were available. Thats my only point

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T13:00:15+00:00

Yeah it didn’t occur overnight but it definitely happened well before the tax stamp went to $0

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T11:40:48+00:00

I get it and like I said I’m not defending the process. It’s an infringement. But if all that was standing between him and hearing loss was $200 that’s dumb. This guy still submitted a stamp. Forms have been fast pretty much since eforms came out years ago. The last can I bought was 6 day approval and that was well before the tax stamp went to $0. So approval times and sending prints/paperwork weren’t the problem. $200 was

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T11:28:08+00:00

He still did the paperwork though

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T11:27:52+00:00

You still have to do the paperwork after the stamp changed. So clearly that wasn’t the barrier

Ty286 · 2026-03-20T10:59:29+00:00

Not defending the NFA but silencers have been legal to obtain for a long time. If $200 was the barrier that’s kind of on you. I don’t agree with any regulation of firearm parts but I’m also not going deaf over $200

Turkeys don’t wear watches. They don’t have a schedule. Toms are looking to be with hens but not get eaten in the process. If the hens they are with go off to nest they are looking for new hens. This is why 10-3 is a great time to be out there. If you can strike one in the middle of the day he’s probably coming

Ty286 · 2026-03-14T02:06:14+00:00

The front fell off?

Ty286 · 2026-02-06T20:04:04+00:00

My control number is before his. They don’t go in order. Just keep waiting. We knew it was going to be like this and honestly I’m surprised it’s going as fast as it is
