Ok this aint a bash just what I've seen over the years .


Lot of hunter set up wrong too . They set up to where they can see 50, 70 yards . Tom comes in he can see thar far too and hangs up because he can't see the hen . Why a lot use decoys .


I never set up to where a turkey has a clear line of sight of over 40 yards to me . When I see him he's in range .

Frankie’s tha Gobfather…yall better pay attention before he puts you over his knee and whoops you with that 10ga

You surely don't have to use TSS to kill a turkey, but there's no doubt that it's the best shot material and most folks who turkey hunt want to use the best. Someone said it's like fishing with a Zebco 33 - there have been millions of fish caught with a Zebco 33, but you will never see one in use at high level bass tournament. They are functional, but far from the best. Someone could host a tournament with a requirement that you could only use a Zebco, and if the money was good enough the pros would fish it. And they would catch a whole lot of fish, but not quite as many as if they could use regular tackle. It would depend on the lake, but they would likely catch something like 95% of what they would have caught. That 5% is often the difference in winning or not.

You can probably kill 95% of the turkeys with lead shot, but if you hunt long enough the TSS will be the difference in killing one or wounding one.

I have shot 2 with TSS. One with a 20 gauge 3 in mag at about 35 yrds or so. But that was with this choke combo that is supposed to be the ticket for an 870.

The second I shot with a 3.5 in mag 12 TSS load at about the same distance. Less pellets on target than the 20 for some reason, but, knocked it down with authority.

X2...Someone musta done made Ol Frankie mad to account for all the bashing thats been going on.... Ya'll, please dont upset him and get him in a bad mood, Especially right here before I was fixin to ask him If I could come down there and knock down a couple those big buck deers that keeps hanging around his porch...

Be honest I like my 12 ga 916T S&W best . That ole cheap shot gun gun has been a work horse. I've killed them with 410 , 16 ,12 and 10 ga. Never owned a 20 or 28 ga


Been lucky enough to have killed a lot of them .

Bring your camera mine aint worth shit . I wouldn't call them big but a few are ok

Thats really cool Frankie... Thats a really nice looking buck but your right, I doubt I would shoot at him...He needs another yr or 2...
