Good news! I was told to contact our district LT about the matter but no one is currently holding that position for my district, so my email was forwarded on to another officer in charge. I finally heard back from him. He thanked me for the honesty and is going to move one of my telecheck...

Thanks for the support guys. I'll update the thread if I find out anything new on my consequences.

Thanks. I had a sportsman license that allows for 2 toms during the spring season, just not on the same day. So they are both tagged, I've bagged out. I hope the wildlife department appreciates honesty though.

I started learning how to hunt gobblers about 2 years ago on my own, sometimes with a friend. I had several close encounters and numerous no-sightings time and time again sitting outdoors for hours on end by myself. I love just being outdoors most of the time as peaceful as it is, but...

Thanks for the tips guys. I was trying to cut using the mouth call but don't think I did very well. Would cuts on the box call fill this role well?

Well I certainly had a more eventful couple of hunts this weekend, but failed to get a turkey. It's very frustrating but I concede that at least I'm learning every time I get out there. I learned first hand how difficult fall hunting can be, and how well these birds can actually see. Friday...

Also, I have both 2 3/4 shells and 3" shells. As I've never pulled the trigger on a turkey before, what kind of yardage is typical? When patterning, i put the bead as close to the bullseye as I could manage from about 20 or 25 yards and both shells seemed to pepper a good portion of the...

We have one last shot at bagging a bird or two next week. I haven't had any luck so far this year (I'm a hunting newbie) and I'd really appreciate some insight or pointers to up my chances. I've read what I could find and realize that fall/winter turkey hunting is much different than the...

We were trying to figure that out ourselves, joking around about it being inbred or something. I guess it's just a peculiar coat coloring kind of similar to this white tail pic: http://www.deer-pictures.com/white_tailed_deer_buck.jpg

Well I was looking for a buck and I guess I found one... Any buck is better than no buck I guess.

Thanks for the feedback. Deer season opens up in a week so I guess I'm getting a late start. I know there are bucks in the area as I come close to hitting one with my car every other week it seems. I guess what I was hoping to do was learn whether or not any bucks were visiting the area I...

I just bought my first scouting cam about two weeks ago. I haven't captured too many promising shots yet. Obviously, this could mean there isn't a lot of activity where i'm currently set up. I just wanted some input from more experienced hunters. How often do you check your cameras? Does...

For further clarification of bullet weight, previous posts mentioned to pick a bullet weight and stick with it. For instance, .30-06 has common weights of 150, 168, and 180. These would all provide plenty of killing power for most north american game. Just so you know, when you sight-in...

wew i'm getting nervous about getting my first deer after reading some of these posts. hopefully i will get one close to my in-laws house on their farm. since i've never field dressed anything other than squirrels before, it looks like i'm going to have quite an experience dressing and getting...

Thanks for the input. I checked the fish/wildlife site and apparently baiting is not legal, though I couldn't find any details on the issue. I'll have to try and locate some sources of water around the area.

Hey, I'm still fairly new to turkey hunting. I've only been on a few trips and have yet to bag me a bird, but I'm learning more each time and hopefully getting better. I live in KY and my in-law's farm has a regular group of birds that move through the back, typically on a daily basis. Our...

I wanted to go with a semi-auto primarily for skeet, for shooting more than one skeet at a time. I'm sure somebody with a little decent experience could pull this off with a pump action, but I'd rather start out with a semi.

Thanks for the help. I had a feeling the 930 would be the one to go with. Would you advise going with the turkey model specifically which I believe has a 24" barrel or would any of the models suffice?

I'm pretty much a rifle person, but I'm looking at getting my first shotgun in the very near future. I've done a little research to learn more about them, but I'm still learning. I'm definitely leaning towards the Mossberg line for quality/affordability. Again, this will be my first...

It will be several months before I'm ready to even make a purchase but I'm at a stalemate between which .243 I'd like to get. The Rem Mod 7 or Savage 10 Predator. I know I'm sure this comparison has been made over and over here, it certainly has on other forums I've looked at, but nothing has...
