Turkeys will clean out a nest of fresh hatched quail or pheasants. If they can make it three days, they might have a chance.

Nobody knows how many turkeys this Valmet 412 has killed.

also works on coyotes while turkey huntinng

The 20 tac does well on fall gobblers also.


If you want to complain about rifles for fall gobblers. I will state this FACT! anyone who consistently kills gobblers in the fall with a shotgun is baiting!

I know of a flock of turkeys that were sitting on bales of alfalfa and shredding them in winter. A .22 revolver harvested a number of them.

Bingo, add grouse to the list too, turkeys need to be managed hard if you want other game birds around

Some of us don't have grouse or pheasants and quail are getting really scarce so turkeys are what we chase. Obviously, I mut not be a good turkey hunter because i have struggled on several springs. Maybe one of you experts would like to come teach me how it's done.

Most experts learn on their own.

Those if you that think you have too many turkeys should go on the Old Gobbler forum and tell those guys. They're all moaning about how bad the population is in their area.

That is one sweet gun. I have the Russian version. The 223 will do 1 inchers easy.

This is more like..Put up or shut up. If you're that good..Prove it

Ridge runner your facts are wrong. Never baited turkey but have killed my 2 fall Tom's for several years. We are allowed 2 turkey either sex in the fall. Shot a hen once lot of years back but only the one.

Can't use a rifle here but don't need too. I have an abundance of turkey on the farms I can hunt. All it takes is patterning them. Strutter decoys with hens seem to work better for me in the fall then just hens or jakes.

Taking time to watch feeding patterns will help give you a good idea where and when to be set waiting.
