You don't have to guess how I feel about any deal to keep them going! Maybe I'm missing something, but what potential "deal" are you referring to? Referring to my avatar, obviously I'm a TC fanboy. My use of "deal" refers to any means set forth to get TC back up and running in more original format, not S&W ran, which let quality suffer.

Today was made for turkey hunting. Sunny, calm, and cool, birds were gobbling 35 mins before legal in just about every direction. Had 3 sneak in behind me spitting and drumming about 20 feet away couldn't get turned around but they didn't spook they just walked away. I readjusted my seating and about 1/2 hour later I managed to to call a single out of a small group and just like that I finally ended a 3 year drought. I took a Jake with a 6" beard weighing 17 pounds. I will post a photo later. Learned a lot this year, can't wait for next year. Congratulations! Great accomplishment to end your dry spell. I need to do the same one of these days, and/or get junior his chance.

All i can say is work is stupid. I have been to two work confereces since turkey opener. 1st opening day i missed since i stared hunting them in the late 80's. Work gets in the way of my hobbies and i dont like it. X2 !!!

I thought Smith & Wesson bought them awhile ago ? Let's hope S&W sells the rights and somebody continues the legacy of quality arms.

ms660, they basically are the same but with a softer tip than the shockwaves. Which is the same as the Hornady SST's just a different colored tip. You might have to go with a crush rib sabot from MMP due to the bullets being .44 instead of .45. Pretty sure the crushed rib are Harvester. I think the 50/44 sabots are always green colored, at least every one I ever seen. 50/45cal can be a mish mash of color options.

We sat out. Luke wanted to sleep in anyway. I got up to the big boomers and heavy rain. I needed to recharge anyway. We got 1" rain. We plan to be back for the afternoon hunt today. What big boomers? I never woke up. I had 2.25" in the gauge by the pond. The woods there is starting to get flooded. Pond is finally full!! Oh yes. Rattle your teefs booming. Several big trees down and lots of branches in our area.

Throwing in the towel. Wind has been building big time and a big branch just crashed down real close.
I really have a busy schedule not good for hunting most of the week. May try to get back out Friday morning, and then the weekend again.
Good luck fellow sportsman brothers. Always fun being part of a great group of guys and sharing the experience.

A jake went by out of range about 70yds. It was a heart pumping moment seeing a big black body finally! Good after a lull in the action!

In my blind on my food plot. Probably should have went back to where Woodmaster killed his bird. But that’s a longer up and down some hills walk. I’ll save that for Tuesday morning when I’ll have more time. Bedside I had a gobbler cruise through here yesterday at 5:09 Good luck. You got 5 min till show time,
