Lots of good advice. There are only two things I’ve ever claimed to be good at. 1. Drinking whiskey. 2. Killing turkeys. It used to be an unhealthy obsession, taking off 30 days to hunt from work. Then a wife and kids happened, and access and birds dwindled. Reach out by PM if you want...

My picture above shows empty shelves but they will be full soon. I have gotten away from marsh hunting for a variety of reasons so I’m concentrating on my Lake Erie rig. I only need so many decoys but they are all special in various ways.

Thanks Don. I learn something new every time I pick up the rasp or paintbrush. I really need to paint the garage. Looking forward to giving my shelves a clean look.

Took a break from carving and painting to catch up. Had to redo my decoy storage and take advantage of the weather to do some clear coating.

My first carved bird was a Buffy. #2 -#6 were buffies. My first six bird limit were buffies. One of my top ten hunts in my life was a 12 bird drake buffie hunt on Chesapeake bay with a friend over my six hand carved buffies. My son’s first duck was a buffie. I dont shoot them anymore. But...

Unfortunately with season starting in 10 days and no gunsmiths in my area I am somewhat limited in my options.

Ordered a mossberg sa20 for turkeys. I’ll look into the nitros. Thanks.

Thanks. Would love a solid 40 yard gun with lead.

I’m going to try out a 20 guage auto loader. Unfortunately tss is all sold out around me and tariffs and seasonal needs will make it tough. I’ll have to use good old fashioned lead 5s. Hopefully I’ll luck into a good combo.

It’s good advice as always. I’ve done a lot to try to make it work. In the end it just comes down to recoil tolerance. I had a great turkey gun until the stock split and action failed from the recoil. It was a Winchester sx3. My problem is mostly “ off the bench”. Never feel it when there is...

What is he using for ammo? Do you feel it’s effective at 40 yards.

I was hoping to get a 20 auto loader before turkey season but couldn’t find a decent brand version locally that had the receiver tapped for an optic. I’ll keep my eyes open on the used market now.

Been trying to add some weight to my turkey shotgun to reduce the punishment it gives out on the back end. I cast a plug out of lead and an insert for the stock today. I had big plans to get a 20 guage and set it up this year but I ran out of time.
