Killed this little guy here at the house. First kill with my new Tikka T3x Hunter and my 120gr Barnes TTSX handloads. Not the best shot but he dropped right there and was dead in a couple minutes. Still getting used to the light trigger on the rifle.Search found 25 matches

Re: Took the plunge!!
I wish I’d had started 20years ago. I found 2 local gun shops that carry powder. One is fairly reasonable and the other is way more. Of course he has a selection of the more popular powders that I read about. Varget was $70/lb. I wanted to try some but I’ll stick with the TAC in my 308 for now. Not ...

Took the plunge!!
Some already know but I jumped in this handloading adventure head first!! Done built me a way overbuilt bench with a set of shelves that I don’t think will be large enough. Got dies for most of the calibers I have and some for calibers I don’t have. Yet!! Loaded ammo for my 308, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39...

New killer(hopefully)
Found me a new 20ga 870 last week and put the mossy oak graphics kit on it. It’s very light and shoots dam straight. Can’t wait to get in the woods.

Re: Never turkey hunted
What Tru Talker said. This is going to be my 4th year to hunt. It's took me 2 yrs to realize all the things I was doing wrong and remembered all the mistakes I made. I'm gonna be honest and tell you I read and talked to lots of guys on the other forum and put everything they told me in my "toolbox" ...

Re: Few more showed up
It's actually 2 different plots. I think this I same group of birds. The plots aren't that far apart and pics were taken 2 days apart. We had another group of bigger gobblers the same time one of these pics were taken that were in another plot. No pic was taken of them. Come on march.

Re: Corn Budget......
We only have a couple guys that think the only way you can kill a deer in alabama is with corn. We have 2 properties that are separate from our camp property and that is where we agreed that if corn is to be used, use it there. Will stay the same. They will have a 90ac & a 75ac tract they can put al...

Our not so many victories
Not very many but we are leaning more and more every spring. We are extremely proud of each bird and each was a hard learning experience. Can't wait to see what lessons are to be learned this year.

Still use a clearcut that grown up like this in the spring? Last year it was alot cleaner in here and always had turkeys in it. Areas in it are pretty tall bit some areas I can see lots of the small pines that were planted last year.

Re: Where are all the killas....
I think that's why my deer season has sucked this year. I spend more time exploring the woods where I've heard turkeys googling on the roost the last couple years, and not looking for deer sign. Those dam birds got my head all messed up. But I sure did learn alot about our woods the last 2 weeks. If...

We haven't seen any turkeys on our place since the spring. The 2 walked out and ate in pot for about 45 mins. It was good to see gobblers. Hope there's more than just the 2 of them around.
