  1. I have zero personel experience with a Charles Daly but here is a link to their shotguns Charles Daly
  2. Re: 835 shells and chokes I must be getting old. I know I use the Ulti-Full Factory choke for my 835 but I can not remember what shells I have. I know one is a Wichester 3 1/2 with #6 shot and the other is 3 inchers in #5's but which brand they are off hand . Guess I will look come March and redo some patterning just to be doing it. I for one once I find something that works will not change for the sake of change.
  3. Re: Things you want for \'06 season [ QUOTE ] Just some quality time in the woods this spring. I just didn't get much time last spring and don't want a repeat of that. [/ QUOTE ] Ditto here also
  4. Re: Merry Christmas........Happy Holidays? [ QUOTE ] I don't really like Christmas anymore anyways and only celebrate it basically because I am expected to. It has gotten way too commercial and every year I start to dread it more and more every year. [/ QUOTE ] Ditto here also I could go on and on about this. But Christmas is not supposed to be about giving and receiving presents. It is about the birth of Jesus. (which more than likely actually happened in October)
  5. Re: My First Deer! Congrats There was a doe that I had shot where a friend and I stood on it until it died to keep it from going over a cliff. So these things happen.
  6. Re: Turkey Gun & Choke That Hold Good Pat.30+ yards? ditto on what both Hevi and borch posted.
  7. Nut

    Re: got one Congrats
  8. Re: LOST HUNTERS, FOUND! Simple GPS Would Have Helped! My wife got me a GPS because I got lost on my way to the bathroom.
  9. Re: Who\'s ready? Yep I would love to be able to chase some gobblers.
  10. Re: 2 3/4\" shells/ good choke [ QUOTE ] The gun will work no problem. Just pattern it to find out what your max range is getting good patterns and stick to it. If the gun has changeable chokes, pattern it with the full choke tube before you go & spend money on another one. The full choke may give you a good pattern out to 30-35 yards.. [/ QUOTE ] Very good advice there
  11. Re: \"Past the Ears\" Antler Restriction [ QUOTE ] This is somewhat like turkey hunting. If you want a trophy you don't shoot the egg do you? [/ QUOTE ] I can see what you might think but this is nothing like what is being proposed. [ QUOTE ] I've got an idea. Why don't all you people who can't stand a deer that doesn't have a record book rack on its head just simply sign up at one of those texas ranches that hand feed their deer into record antler status. Then you can get your "antler fix" without hamstringing all the rest of us who simply want to hunt deer without dragging along a book of complicated, unreasonable and silly restrictions. [/ QUOTE ] I agree.
  12. Re: Ohio Slug Season Recap Congrats to you and your son We had a fun week. My wife took her first shot ever at a deer but missed. The rest had chances but no deer in the freezer this week.
  13. Re: New York State antler restrictions??? Maybe NY should start by only allowing 1 antlered deer per hunting year before starting anything like AR?
  14. Re: \"Past the Ears\" Antler Restriction I've always wondered on how ya are supposed to measure a deers inside spread before you shoot it? What happens if the deer has big ears or has little ears?
  15. Re: Question From Realtree Video Dept. My biggest complaint is the music that is added to the video. I like to hear the natural sounds even if it is silence. I enjopy watching Bill,David and Michael doing the hunting. Foxworthy and Travis are good ones also. I also would like to see Scott Hughes doing at least 1 each year. Take a child once in a awhile also. Bowhunting,Gunhunting and Muzzleloaders....get it all in. Info on the screen to where,when and times would be good also. I did not care for the archery tourney. Way too many people . Do something new like show some bloopers in between. etc etc etc
  16. Re: Peace Activists to Be Executed I still agree with what octoberman has posted.
  17. Re: Turkey gun ????????? I like both models and use a 835 for my turkey hunting. I have no problems with the recoil shooting the 3 1/2 inchers. But that is me. However because a model can shoot them it does not mean you have to. The rest of my family have the 870's and they also perform pretty well. I plan on using my sons 20 gauge 870 in the future for some turkey hunting. But I also believe that everybody's choice is the right one also. It all comes back to what makes you happy and gives you confidence. If anybody wants me to test out their choice of shotgun for turkey hunting....I can travel
  18. Re: Age restrictions on hunting??? [ QUOTE ] IMHO--it should be up to the parents. Only restriction in Ohio is that you have to be 16 or 17 to go out unsupervised I think. Nut should know for sure. [/ QUOTE ] I agree that it should be left up to the parents or sometimes the person who would take the child. In Ohio the youth can hunt alone at 16 unless it is a "youth" season. Otherwise they must be with a adult. The adult can not take more than 2 youths. In Ohio the youth must pass a Hunter's Education Course before obtaining a license. There is a bill in the state legislature that will create a "Apprentice HUnter License". I think it allows the person/youth to hunt for 3 years before getting the course completed. I have read the bill and the way it looks there might be change to 18 before hunting alone. There are many youngsters who have surprised me with their maturity and common sense. Then there are those alleged adults who act more childish than a 5 year old. Age is not maturity.... it has been proven more than once even here.
  19. Re: Shotguns!! I just hope I hear a few shots in the morning. If I am lucky there will be at least one that makes my ears ring.
  20. Re: How to take a field picture of your deer??? I do not kill deer anymore because that if I did my face would be in the pic and that would offend many people.
  21. Re: Shotguns!! It was the same here. I just stayed home this evening.
  22. Re: Two Nice Thanksgiving Deer Welcome to the forums Bryon. Congrats to both on the deer Are you a pro staffer or get sponsered by Advantage Max1? Bryon has some great predator videos out that have been highly recommended by lots of folks.
  23. Re: Ohios Monster Buck pics ! This is a true ohio big buck before trick photography
  24. Re: Ohios Monster Buck pics ! They are dead deer and they did not reproduce anymore in Ohio. They had girl friends in West Virginia.
  25. Re: Hunting with Dogs??!!! If it is legal,fine with me. If it is illegal,fine with me.
