Will you people stop buying the youth 870s? I've been looking for a combo with wood furniture and can't seem to. Everybody has the synthetic. I want it for in-blind hunting turkey and deer. Any reason you want wood stock? Personal preference or a working reason? Both my sons guns are wood.

Go to OldGobbler and look under the 20 gauge section. It will save you some money and time. Lots of info there. Wow you were correct. Tons of info!

That’s the same reason I have wanted one. Both my sons still use their youth 20s for turkey and kill them just as far as my 3.5” 12ga. I am going to try and keep it bead only but with my aging eyes I may have to put a low profile red dot on it. I don’t want the extra weight of a saddle mount so maybe drill and tap and put a weaver base on it?

I know I should support my LGS but as I was walking through Wal-Mart today I noticed a camo 870 in the cabinet. I have been wanting to get a smaller 20 ga for turkeys but haven’t been able to find one and really didn’t need one. Well wouldn’t you know it was a camo 20 ga 870 Compact with a 21” RC barrel and it came home with me. I am going to consider this a gift from Trump and the stimulus money.

Ok I will admit that we normally only take the breast meat out of our wild turkeys and pitch the rest. This year my son kept the legs and thighs and wants to cook them up. Anyone have a good receipe?

Just saw the first female today at the feeder Central IN. Now I will admit I haven’t been watching it closely but I am considering this my first sighting.

Well got the email that Big Oaks will not be having a spring turkey hunt this year. Kinda figured it was coming but was holding out a little hope it would be open.

Looks like a jake to me because of the black tipped body features.

I haven’t heard anything but I doubt there will be any turkey hunts at Big Oaks this year? Safety video and being in a group?

I actually have some deer meat out to make some for dinner tonight. Pound them out, then dip in an egg wash, tonight I’m using crumbled up saltine crackers as the breading, then cooking in butter in a cast iron skillet. Same here except I have a hand crank cuber I run them through when butchering and vac seal in packs of 6. Delicious!

I don’t know about during a rain but after it has finished and there isn’t any wind you can hear the water drop when they shake the limbs. Plus the wet ground makes it easier to stalk.

I will walk a lot farther to turkey hunt than I will for a deer. Getting a turkey out is obviously a lot easier.

Same as casting the jig out and fishing it back to the boat. All the bobber does is it lets to keep it in one spot and just pop it up and down a little. It also shows when a fish takes it of course. We usually just use a hair jig with a bobber and a curly tail of some sort when casting and reeling. Sometimes in early colder water you don’t have to move the bobber at all the wave action is all it needs.
