cannonball

Thanks, I am hoping to get a nice one.

Nothing like a little recoil to wake you up in the morning. Besides, I probally have close to 100 pounds on that skinny Arab guy.

Thanks Whiskey.

Thirteen years ago my father and I went to Sports Authority in Knoxville to buy new guns to turkey hunt with. I got a Mossberg 835, he choose a Remington Express Super Mag. We only went a couple of times when we were drawn for the Chuck Swan hunt, neither of us ever got a turkey. Dad's health started getting bad, and we both stopped hunting. My dad has been gone over two years now, and I haven't been hunting in forever. My wife has been telling me I needed to go hunting again, it honestly has been tough for me to do that as I always went with dad and I just couldn't get excited about it anymore. This year I made a promise to myself that I would go, as it was something I enjoyed doing. A few weeks ago I dug out my Mossberg and noticed dad's Remington setting beside it. It then hit me that I could never hunt with him again, but I could use his shotgun and carry a piece of him with me. I hope to honor him by harvesting a turkey with his Remington someday, so I made a few changes to improve my odds. Before: After I have added a Remington Sureshot stock and forearm in Mossy Oak Obsession camo, Remington scope mount, Mueller red dot sight, Primos Jelly Head choke tube, and will be shooting Hevi-13 3.5 #7 shot. Wish me luck, I know dad would approve...

Let me know how they work for you. I was going to get a box of the mag blends, went back to Bass Pro two days after seeing them and they were sold out. I found the #7's on line at Cabelas and ordered a couple of boxes.

I just ordered some Hevi-13. 3.5 inch, #7 shot. I hope to have everyone a performance report on opening day.

Great story, made me laugh too.

This gets me fired up too.

Thanks for everyone's advice on the tree stand. I am now going to put up a portable ground blind instead. I actually went to Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday because they had some nice ones advertised in the Sunday sale paper. I was quite suprised upon arrival that the Hunting department was almost empty. I will try to make it up to Bass Pro this weekend and pick one up. Good luck to everyone hunting this spring and be safe.

I have held a RTF glock. For some reason I like my 3rd generation glocks better.

Has anyone tried turkey hunting from a tree stand? I have just secured a nice place to hunt, the only issue is it's only 6 acres. I have a ladder stand and was thinking of setting it up and doing my best to call them to me. Would the stand give me or the turkeys the advantage? I am green at this, so any help would be appreciated.

Great advice, Savage builds a nice rifle for the money.

Very nice hog. I have been wanting to go myself, might have to give Loshbough a call...

G17

I like my cs 45. Very compact and a good shooter. It fits in several of my holsters that were made for a glock 19, so that is a plus too.

I knew you were going to love that Kahr. The trigger is so smooth, and will only get better with use.

Tetra grease and CLP

What are going to use the gun for?

Looks very nice, good job.

I like the Glock factory night sites. They work very well and they are reasonably priced.

TWRA has leased some fields. If you go to the TWRA site, you can see the locations.

I have several Marlin's from .22 to .450, there's nothing like a good lever gun;)

Rock Island if you want an good inexpensive gun. Colt if you want something very nice.

That's nice. I wouldn't want to be a coyote about now...

Welcome.
