Getting the bug here. The weather has been nice the last few days. Working to get everything done around the house. So when it’s time to go, will be ready to go. Seeing lots of birds in the fields along the roads. Going to give the federal TSS loads a try this year. Will pattern a few of them tomorrow and see if they are all they claim. Post up some pictures of your turkey rigs, share some stories. It’s always fun to hear about turkey hunting in other areas vs here.

Well if your mountains are anything like these around here, I am betting you wont have that extra 40 for long. When is 50 at 4:00 in the morning and you have a 3 hour walk in full battle dress. It tends to take it off you pretty quick.

Still a good six weeks out here. Gonna do some patterning around noon or so. I put together some loads for the 12ga but mostly gonna play with the 410's. I loaded up some #10 tss to try.
What size shot did you get? Also, what gauge?

Opener is April 6 here. Planned to go scout today but the wind was howling all day. Planning to use the flintlock this year and need to get out and start working up a load and patterning it.

I will post them. It warming up nice here today, so should be a good day for it. This is the first time I have tried them. I have used Long Beard in #5 since they came out.

Cant wait either ! By far my favorite thing to hunt. I got into it pretty late, but have had a ton of fun the last five years. Have made some great memories with my kids and brother in that time. Good luck to all !! Yeah, forgot to mention both my boys have killed turkeys as well. My oldest is about as eat up with as I am. May try and let CJ get one this year. A guy I introduced to turkey hunting 3 years ago is guiding a child this weekend in fact. It’s definitely something you pay forward!
