Gearing Up for Tom!
 

Well, Spring turkey season is almost upon us. Time to gather all of the gear and tune-up the calls.

It should be a great season here in Texas as we have had three wet winters followed by wet springs in a row. It definitely will be a hot one. Since January 1st we have had 20+ days in the 80's!

This season, I will be using a straight grip 1923 PH, 12 ga. with 30" Parker Steel barrels. RST 2 1/2" lite roll crimped 1 1/16 oz #5's should do the trick.

Good luck to all you turkey hunters!

Thanks. with our turkey population is way down and my hearing is getting worst all the time I will take all the luck I can get. Will be trying 1906 GH 10 Ga. with RST 1 1/4 of 4's for the first time. May need a gun bearer that can hear.

i too am ready for turkey season this is my favorite bird to hunt...it should be a good season for my area north miss..i will probably hunt with my old ph grade 10 ga with 1 5/8 ounce of shot and my light 8 ga with 2 1/2 ounce of shot....really fired up i am like a big gobbler...charlie

I'm looking forward to going up on the Clearwater in North Central Idaho and going after some Merriam's on opening weekend.

Me and a fellow that I work with are going up there and hunt with his boys. Both of his sons live and work up there in Priest, ID.

I haven't decided if I'm using my NH 10 with 32" barrels or my DH 12 with 30" barrels. Since I have 2 tags, I might take them both and try to get one with each.

I do want to get at least one with a Parker. I haven't ever done that before.

I've been using the Abby Gun for a few years which is a heavily tweaked 12 Gauge Sterly with RST number 6's.

I'll be using the 10 gauge with brass shells and black powder loads.

Outstanding hammer gun ! Best of luck for a safe and fun season.

I have several new guns I want to try out. I hope at least one of them gets a gobbler.

Just to wet the appetite a bit:
