Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

I just have an inexpensive Tasco ProPoint. It works great.

Even though I am using it this season steer clear of the Bushnell Trophy red dot systems. Even though they function well, they are not all that well made. Their new halo system though looks very nice.

I love red dot scopes. They make it very easy to shoot with both eyes open (with a lil practice), in fact I have even used one the last 5 years for duck hunting.

I would have to disagree with Campo on the Bushnell Trophy scopes. I have one and have used it five years now for both duck hunting and deer hunting. A gun (and scope) go through h#ll in a duck marsh with the mud and water and this scope has never failed me, it is tough, clear and I would not hesitate to buy another.

The only real problems I have had with it are the lenses and the threads on the extension.
The polarizng filter falls out every shot I take, but that is with a 3.5" shell, so maybe that has something to do with it.
