Danny, sorry to have (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) in your wheaties.
Our state wildlife doesn’t charge additional for turkey tags. It’s included in the big game harvest card you get for deer season. My grandpa bought me a lifetime hunting license when I was born so it costs me all of about $5 per year to turkey hunt here

I think it’s $27 here. Just bought one but forgot the exact number. But I’m fine with it, money goes back into the wildlife, not being used for any political pet project i care nothing about, but I do care about having turkeys to hunt.

Ks, I agree. Turkeys have actually been something that has been very successfully managed. We have more turkeys now across the US than we probably ever did. Even when I was a kid there weren’t many around here. Mossy oak sells a turkey stamp that gives into turkey conservation efforts. I bought one

Nice coondagger2
KsTrapper88, the money goes to keep cost down for old men and their campers in the state parks. Its why its now wildlife and parks instead of just wildlife. They are getting far to money hungry. Some of the money goes for walk in hunting which I think is great. I would rather buy a 4 dollar turkey tag and a 20 dollar walk in hunting permit. Let the people in campers pay for the parks.
need to have open season on hawks owls and eagles just like we do coyotes as well

Good suggestions there Danny, I would support those changes.
I don’t even mind the cost as is if it’s going to turkeys, not camper hookups

Thanks gentlemen.
WF: I would bet your nephews buddy did not pattern his gun ahead of time. Some of the tss loads with extremely heavy payloads do not shoot true to point of aim and can leave you scratching your head. That is why you see a lot of guys with the red dot sights that they can "sight in" like a rifle. I've found that by shooting a slightly more standard load weight the point of aim will come back to meet the point of impact.
For example, the 1-5/8oz load in my 28ga requires a red dot to shoot true. The 1oz to 1-3/8 loads load do not Okay, hang on a second. I shoot a lot of 28, but never dealt with TSS. Is it that dense that you can actually get 1 5/8 oz. in a 2 3/4"? I know there is some chambering in 3" now, but that's a huge jump from my 5/8 oz. steel and 3/4 oz. lead, max 1 oz. with some factory loads. Assuming it's a low velocity load to keep pressure down?

Keith, yep, due to the extremely high density of tss you can fit that. Fits just right in the TPS 28ga wad.
The load runs about 1150 FPS at a little over 11,000 psi. If you wanted to tip toe the edge of the max pressure you could get it to 1200.
I don’t have any guns that will shoot the 3” shells
The 1-5/8oz load is a roll crimp load. The rest of my loads are fold crimped. My favorite load is probably the 1-3/8oz load of tss 9’s at 1200 FPS. Just great patterns

Coon - no he did not pattern it. Hillbilly voodoo magic is what people use around here.
On my Turkey gun I use a Leupold 2x7 shotgun scope and do surgery.

My one and only turkey was taken with a Remington 11-48 in 28 gauge. Lead #5's rolled it clean.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Why do i see pics of shotgun patterns of a circle with an off center dot? Ive patterned shotguns before, but i just draw a dot on cardboard and shoot it and see how it looks.
The dot is were you aim, the circle goes around the center of the pattern (10"). Ideally you want the center of the pattern to be at your aim point.

Correct, you draw the 10" circle around the part of your pattern that is most dense. You sight your red dot in so that the densest part of your pattern is on the small circle where you aim
