@@HabitatDave thanks for your feedback! Just curious, what is your thought process on having it be further off the ground? We have tons of deer that use these including fawns, and we haven’t really seen any negative effects from having it at waist height.
Hinge cut box elders along line fences. Rabbits need grassy areas also for having their little ones. I also throw busted up mineral blocks in the line fences. They seem to have more bunnies with that help. After the last day of rabbit hunting I am their best friend!! Lol
I like FL's pants and jackets, but their base layers arent my favorite. Having good success with Duckworth's shirts and hoodies, but dont forget to size up with their stuff
In Pennsylvania, everyone started posting property with no trespassing signs, so unless you have a lease or a lot of property, stalking is pretty much out of the question. I started hunting on the ground with my dad a few decades ago. We’d walk and sit. We always found deer. Now, there’s little chance to do that in my area.
The app on your phone shows ads even with a paid subscription, worse yet the ads are for their cameras (even though you already own one), pick another brand.
Just grabbed one that was a dealer sample - barely used and absolutely loaded with EVERY option. QD Stabilizer, Matthews 5-Pin FO Microadjust sight, Arrow rest, etc. etc. etc... there is nothing that was left off. I have already shot 200 arrow through it - it is absolutely the smoothest, most forgiving bow that I have ever shot. Did I say it was quiet? Well it is. VERY quiet. I bought this for field archery competition, and I have no regrets yet. I just love to shoot, and I doubt I will hunt this bow, but if I did, I am certain that this will do the job quite well.
How do you pull a shot in a sled sled? The gun is tuned to how you shoot it in a sled? That's just plain incorrect. Also, the reason some of those shots might be more sporadic in location is due to the lead sled itself. Recoil needs to go backwards. With the sled it can't go all the way back and instead will send the muzzle upward instead of backwards. Lastly you have a 3 shot group that is probably close to 2 inches. That would not instill confidence in me. If it's grouping like that at 100 what's it look like a 300 or even 500?
Been using Longbeard XR in 3 and 3 1/2 for years, 3 1/2 i use in an 870 with Briley XF choke and the 3 i use Carlsons longbeard xr choke both have knocked the slobber out their beaks every time. They’re my personal favorite.
Ive never used a trail cam before. If I start with the base 100 free pictures and I go over that. Can I still go to the camera remove the sd card and view the photos that are over the 100 threshold? Or am I only able to view the photos on the app?
I worked for a state agency in a fish hatchery that reared sturgeon. A very difficult fish to raise when we started but we got much better at it over a number of years. They are a grand fish. They are slow moving and really not a challenge to spear. That fish is probably 20 -30 years old and could have lived to 100 or so. Where is the glory in killing that fish? I sure hope you at least ate it.
I shoot the long beard xr 6s out of the long beard xr choke and I’m lethal out to 50yd and this video really helped me out in making me decision thanks a lot!
@BuckFeverOutdoors I've Had the same one for sometime now. How did you do This past season out on the scary ice? For us it was more action that 28yrs of spearing combined. Tagged out Saturday opening day, 65# 68" i speared all 16 days. I couldn't imagine 3,000+ shacks on the south end it would have been repeat of 2004 massacre!
I use Winchester Longbeard ER, 3 inch, 12 gauge, #5 shot, shooting a Mossberg 835 mag, with a Tru-Glo gobble dot, mounted on a pic rail. Good tight patterns at 50 yards! 😊 By the way, choke is a Carlson's 0.670. The only thing I've done differently is added o-rings to keep caps on W/E from coming off, due to recoil! Scope and caps being camo, hard to find a cap in thick grass! Lost one, but Tru-Glo sent another set at no cost, then put o-rings on at base of turrets! No more lost caps!
I am impressed with your marksmanship, however here is a suggestion to consider for evaluating Turkey Loads. Optics on your shot gun will allow you to adjust your shots to zero on your target for each brand. Every brand, & different loads within that brand will print differently on your target. Optics will allow you to correct the variations. Next, for eliminating variables caused by the shooter, get a steady rest to zero your shotgun & for testing various loads. FYI, my son shoots the Winchester XR, & I shoot the Federal GS in 3”, both are very effective. Nice to know the Federal GS patterns well enough to shoot out to 50 yds. Have not tried to shoot that far, but I can recall a time or two that it would have come in handy to know.
Thanks for sharing those great tips! I think for this video our goal was to really keep things as simple as possible to be more relatable to the weekend turkey hunter who doesn’t have an expensive gun, or a fancy red dot sight, or anything like that. Trying to find the best affordable option for someone who doesn’t go too crazy with their setup. Best of luck to you and your son this season!! Thanks for watching!
Using a rest would’ve definitely improved accuracy, but then there’s really no point in doing the test at all because every shot would be identical. It seemed more important to test the ammo in a more “realistic” shooting scenario with no rest, to see how forgiving each load would be when the shooter has more of an impact on the trajectory. If you make a perfect shot with any load, the result will be deadly. It’s the loads that still kill the bird even when you don’t make a perfect shot that are truly the best.
