Dang Leo yall are mowing them down over there in SC, Thats awesome. congrats on another nice bird.

WOW talk about a hot start to the season. Congrats to you and your friend. For some reason im not able to see the pics. What state are you hunting in, didn't you used to hunt in NY state.

I videoed a friend of mine yesterday afternoon in a plot in the middle of a thick cutover. We had a pack of hounds running deer all around us so we figured it was going to be slow but we stuck it out anyway. We set the blind up around 4:45 and didn’t have to wait to long, at about 5:45 I heard something in the cutover walking our way. Sure enough it was a gobbler he stepped out at 15yds looking right at us. He put his head down to feed on some clover and that gave me the chance to get the camera turned on and my friend time to get his bow up. The turkey stepped behind a tree and my friend got ready to draw, as soon as the bird started to come out he drew his bow and the bird hopped and started moving on down the lane, my friends shot went across the birds back cutting only feathers. The bird, not knowing what it was, ran down the lane about 30yds and went back to feeding on clover. (Another friend of ours missed a gobbler and stuck an opening day gobbler with his bow and this was his quote and it seems to be true so far “Turkeys are meant to be shot with a shotgun not a stick and string”) I handed him my Rem 870 and repositioned the camera and it was all over, he dust rolled him, it was awesome. God blessed us with and awesome hunt, its still early here in the south and the birds just aren’t acting right just yet. My friend was kinda bummed he didn’t connect with his bow but was happy none the less with a great bird. It has a this twisted 93\4” beard and 3\4” spurs , just a two year old but a great memory. Now it’s my turn to try to find one that will cooperate.

Congrats to you and your friend, Leo. That sounds like and awesome hunt. Two birds at less than 5yds, thats close. Good shooting.

My season was awesome, guess i made it sound bad. I killed my best bird to date and it was on camera. It was hard hunting but turned out good.

Whats our name going to be? How did everyone do last year? My season was a hard one but i was able to limit out here in MS. I hope i can get at least one bird this year.

Good luck Al, that’s some nice birds. Hope to see a pic posted Sat evening with you smiling in the background. If things work out Ill be right down the road from you next year..

Kent, I shot the Winchester HV 3" #5's for years my best patterns came from a Preston Pittman choke, which you cant find anymore. Also I have a Star Dot that is awesome, but you can rarely find them. BBR12 is a good friend of mine, he shoots a Kicks and it does a dang good job in his gun. I believe its a Kicks .665 Also the Primos jelly head will throw a great pattern and it’s a lot less expensive than a lot of other chokes out there. Just my $.02 Different guns like different chokes but this is a starting point. The best thing to do is find others around you that have Remington’s and swap chokes out that way you don’t have to buy 3 or more chokes. Good luck

Im easy when it comes to a name.

Thanks for the replies ill let yall know how it all turns out for him.

Ive shot if for years, if you can try to find some of the new MagBlend. Its a triplex load and so far I have been hearing good things out of it. It has more velocity than the regular H-13

Nice, very nice. I need to send you some pics of some of my birds from last year.

Have a friend who has a Rem 20ga and wants to know the best Ammo\choke combo for this gun . I know all are diffenent just want to hear some results to help narrow down what choke\shell combo he needs to get started with. Thanks Scott If you can please give choke and shell combo and pattern results.

I always have one or two with me (jake and hen). They are the Cherokeeseries, the montana decoys are nice also, they are small and you never know you have them. I dont use them very often but if i need them they are an arms length away.

3seasons checking in, hope everyone has a safe and fun season. Mine starts in two weeks.

Rem 870 12ga, 21" barrel, Custom trigger job(myself), ported Preston pittman choke, thumbhole stock, bushnell trophy red dot sight. It does an ok job .

Cool let us know how it works out for you

I like to roost one if i have the time, but "Roosted aint Roasted". I do like to know the general area of a bird before the morning hunt. I scout pre season like Rhino said to get the general area and travel routs of the birds figured out. But I have killed a truck load of birds just by blind hunting.

I always say a prayer after i harvest any animal, always giving thanks to GOD

Hey hunter for the money you may want to try a Primos Jelly Head. They run anywhere from $39-$45 depends where you shop. Well worth the money.

Glad to see you finally made it on the forum. Good group of people on here. Hope to hear some stories or reports from ya soon.
