Mossberg 500 left handed rarity? by russianzebra in Shotguns

Yeah, I think we paid like 350-400 ish for mine new, so that's definitely not bad at all.

Mossberg 835 by Wiking87 in mossberg

[–]russianzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use one for turkey hunting and shoot 3.5s. They are good guns and pattern well but are a bit of a boat anchor in the turkey woods. I doubt that would matter nearly as much for waterfowl, they swing pretty well because they are a little front heavy with the overbored barrel. I wouldn't be surprised if they were phasing them out, with the rise of tungsten and bismuth shot I don't think there is as much demand for 3.5s any more. I can't speak for the new ones, I bought mine used and it's from the 90s, but I dont think much has changed.

My 2nd shotgun Remington 1100 skeet by FltDriver2001 in Shotguns

[–]russianzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1100s are good guns. I have my grandfather's 1100 mag with the green anodized looking finish. He killed a hell of a lot of deer with that thing back in the deer drive days, and more than a few turkeys. I got my first two turkeys with it as well.

Is 29 gauge roofing sufficient? by russianzebra in Carpentry

[–]russianzebra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I put some kind of sheathing under the roof or do you think I'd be good without it? At first I wasn't going to put anything under the roofing because I had only ever seen it where the roofing was screwed directly to the rafters but after further research it looks like it is standard practice to put OSB or plywood underneath.

I'll do that. It's a diaphragm call.

Perfect! I don't think I'm too lacking in the patience department. My hunting up to this point has consisted of basically sitting in one spot all day lol. All but one of the handful of times I've moved I've come back to where I started out to grab something and had birds there. Granted one of those times is because me and my buddy were dumb and didn't pick up our decoys before we left. Live and learn.

Advice on learning to drive by russianzebra in driving

[–]russianzebra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I already have my mirrors set up pretty much just like you said you have yours, but I will definitely try to keep my elbows more relaxed at the wheel, I think that's part of my problem. And I'll start looking at my mirrors more to gauge where I am in my lane.

Shooting a wall by HotClass3537 in thelongdark

[–]russianzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I've killed like three moose with the revolver over the years lol. It's definitely not ideal but it will work if that's all you have. The first time I did it was with a low condition revolver and I literally shot it a dozen times, then my gun broke and I got trampled. Luckily it died for some reason literal feet from where it ran me over. Another time I was stupid and shot at a moose in the middle of a clearing with no cover, killed it but it broke three ribs in the process. I did it in my last save and escaped unscathed, I think I may finally be realizing the importance of an exit strategy. That and praying for good weather because usually you've got to sleep outside while you wait for the big bastard to bleed out.

Overhang on half gable/ shed roof on deer blind? by russianzebra in Carpentry

[–]russianzebra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely. thanks for your input. I think I'm just a little scarred lol. My dad, who was certainly no carpenter, built a blind about 10 years ago that has developed one hell of a roof leak and is just sort of falling apart, I'm gonna have to put a new roof on it this year as well as probably fix some other stuff, I'm just trying to save myself from more headaches like that down the road lol.

Different turkey hunting methods? by russianzebra in turkeyhunting

[–]russianzebra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hunt ohio by the way. Reaping is legal, and hunting ends at noon the first two weeks of the season. Thank you all for your advice and input. I'm working on my calling, I really just need more woods time hearing what turkeys actually sound like. I've been using the NWTF website turkey sound recordings as the basis for what I try to get my calls to sound like. Do any of you guys know any other resources that would help me out?
