Just FYI anybody in that area it’s Bass Pro Shop, Concord Mills. Had a dozen or so #5. Out the door was $26.74 so not too bad. Now between closing on our house and buying another I just might get to try them. Also a few 3 1/2” #5 $31.99 plus tax.

Our local gun store is jammed crammed with everything. Guns in boxes with no racks to display them. Ammo everywhere. Even saw some Reloader series and Vihtavuori powders. Stuffs backing up from high prices and the drain on family budgets.

Walmart has all kinds of Remington Nitro and Winchester Longbeard ammo also.

Car lots here are full of new cars and trucks also. Bring on the pain........

I picked up another box of Longbeard XR 3" #5 the other day. Noticed the price was $3 higher than the same shells with #4 and #6 shot due the new commemorative box #5s came in.

I bought several boxes of 3in LB #5 several years ago. Still have plenty left. I did however see some on a shelf a couple weeks ago. Didn't need them so I left without them.

3.5 # 6,s is what I like.
4 walmarts in town

# 4,s and # 5,s is what they only carry in 3.5
And a major wally world regional distribution center just off I 24


Scored 2 boxes at the PX on FTCKY couple months ago.
Use Rem 3.5 #5 nitro as back up shell.
Haven't needed # 2 to shoot 1 bird.
Boot heel head crusher stomp with a leg grab cling and jerk to stop the curly shuffle..

Only 1 bird limit on FTCKY this year.
2 bird limit in TN now...
Season been backed up on both 2 weeks to April 15 and pushed back 2 weeks on the back side.
Those late season Tom's should be lonely.

Geuss they realized too many Tom's been getting killed before hens are even ready to breed.
Only took em a decade plus to figure that out..

Throw in all the black oil sunflower seed and corn piles the "Champs" on private and public lands kill birds off of....
Can't take doubles on Ftcky since 6 or 7yrs ago.

Limits have dropped from 4 FTCKY and 4 TN.

At least pushing back the season 2 weeks should allow more Tom's to breed insted of being killed early and it should help hunting and brood #,s over the next 3 to 5 yrs.

They need to make these new season dates permanent.

I don't understand using 3" and 3.5" ammo and #4 and #5 shot.
Bern killing turkeys for years with plain Jane old 2.75" with 1 1/8 oz of #8s.
Oh well! To each his own.

Oklahoma "Spring Turkey" always opened on April 6th. It nearly always hit sometime during the "rut" when gobblers could be called in relatively easy and the limit was 3.
Several years back, some sort of avian pox, virus, scabby mocus or something moved through the area and devastated the turkey population.
Oklahoma moved the season opening to April 16th and reduced the limit to 1.
The opening date moved season away from any chance where turkeys might easily be called in.

It's working. The turkeys are slowly returning.

In case you never noticed I really DGAF about any of your "subject matter expert" contraian post on any forum.

That's your gig on here...


Dead Tom's
Spent 2.75 shells
SG

Surely from all your years of slaying toms.
You have some " pics or it never happened" you can share pics of dead Tom's, other than the decoy image in your avatar.

Hell you can even post em on the " pics or it never happened" thread on the Gen forum I started last turkey season.
Alot more members will see em that way.

Think that thread was up to around 210k veiws.
Lotta north American big game pics on it.
100,s of members shared for others to veiw.

Wait one I will go find the link in case you never seen that tread on the Gen forum ( uh huh)


👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My bad....
It was fall turkey hunting when I started the thread.
Lose track of posting " pics or it never happened" at times...

My 1st foray into fall turkey because FTCKY pushed back opener of deer season last year.

Which reminds me ..
Deer season
Do you have any " pics or it never happened" of dead deer Mr Martinstrummer????
I killed 2 nice bucks last fall.
Mayhaps you seen those " pics or it never happened" threads also???

Maybe I can redeem myself this spring turkey season...

2022 was blown for me due to wife health issues.
No biggie..
Have killed plenty of turkeys and posted plenty of " pics or it never happened" per dead Toms threads.
Even pics of Tom's coming in and soon to be dead..

Many Many times....

Maybe I can totally redeem myself this fall before deer season.
And shake off the fall turkey rookie curse.
My bane was a 2.5 to 3 month drought in ref to finding birds and open hunting areas...
Gotta give it a go this fall again👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Did I upset someone? 🤔

.....as for your "pics or it didn't" happen?
I really couldn't care less.

Blame the site manager. Of the other several sites I visit, this is the only site that makes posting photos a giant PITA.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uh huh....
So you visit other sites and drop pics but can't here because it is so "complex" here..

Huh..🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
I visit other sites and drop " pics or it never happened" with ease just like on here...
Must be a problem specific to you..🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

Hey!!! Just got a idea!!!
Link us " pics or it never happened" of your pics from those other sites you can post " pics or it never happened" on
That is pretty easy to do!!!


None of us have never heard how hard it is to use postimage or imgur either as the alibi to not drop " pics or it never happened" on here either.🤣🤣🤣

Both totally bypassing Bins pic posting process with ease.
Nope never have heard that from anyone as their excuse.
"Bins image hosting is too difficult"
(Hint... don't use it)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
But yet you found a way to download a pic to hang a avatar.
All thru your device or computer....
Go figure......🤣🤣🤣

Plenty of step by step tutorial threads have been made up on the Gen forum how to do either postimage or imgur....
Step by step with detailed and easy to understand pictures, simplified terms and highlights pointing it all out.
Step by step.
Ain't even gotta join postimage.
Don't know about imgur, never have used it.
Probably along the same lines as postimage.

Clicks , and copying a image code are hard.
Then paste on here is even more difficult...
🤣🤣🤣

Plenty of step by step threads on how to post " pics or it never happened " have been put up on here by many members.

You have never seen those threads either I'm guessing also.


"Pics or it never happened" = Kyptonite spin and deflect.....
🤣🤣🤣

From 3" turkey ammo to posting pics?

Where you going next?
COVID-19 origins?
Trump's guilt? ...innocence?
BATFE 2A infringments?
DeSantis or Trump?
The price of eggs at WalMart?

Dude, get a grip!

I don't care if you shoot an 8 gauge with a half pound of #1 buck. I just don't think all that powder and big shot is necessary just to kill a turkey! 🤷‍♂️
Nor do I think five to ten dollar a shot ammo is necessary to kill a turkey. People kill turkeys with a .410, why shoot 3.5" #4's? It isn't necessary.
Last turkey I killed was with a 16 gauge, high brass #7.5 shell I dug out of a garbage can over 30 years ago!

Thankfully, this stuff is want, not need. At least I hope it's want here and not need. And the sky's the limit if you want... or don't want! If you want to use whatever shell, good for you and have at it. If you want to wear whatever camo or boots, good for you and have it. Calls, decoys, pop-up blind... knock your socks off. If you want to post pics... or not, whatever! We truly are our own worse enemies sometimes.... You want to post your opinion as fact, whatever the opinion is... please don't. Share information, experiences and results... please do.

I stop at a place in Lomira, WI called Midwest Shooters Supply. They're pretty well stocked with all kinds of shotshells for just about every shotgun need, target and whatever sport. Of course, all of it isn't as cheap as it used to be. And unfortunately, the BPS by me has turned into more of a garment store than an outdoor store with a lot of empty spaces where hunting stuff used to be. But I stopped going to BPS and Cabela's a while ago, so maybe that's changed.

My seasons don't start until the first week of May... seams like a long way off!
