1. I prefer #6's in a 3" shell. 6's give you more pellet numbers per shell, and it seems that the majority of the 3" shells that I have tried pattern better than the 2.75", or 3.5" shells.

2. I bought a turkey vest from Wal Mart a while ago and modified the crap out of it. Not sure if you would want to try that, but you would end up with a custom turkey vest.

3. I prefer the fixed scopes (I normally use a 4x32). Gives you a nice clear sight picture.

4. If I use decoys I normally set up with a jake and hen decoy. I either position them feeding or breeding, just depends on the situation.

5. I hunt all public lands, and to be quite honest sitting in a blind doesn't work too well. Still I have hunted both ways, and they both have there pro's and con's.

6. I start out patterning at 40 yards. Once I get the pattern I am looking for at that range I just keep going farther till I don't have a reliable pattern anymore. After that I work my way from 40 yards all the way into 5 yards in 5 yards increments just so I know what the pattern looks like thru the whole range.

7. I have not been able to get any of the patterns I would like to see with the wingmaster hd, but an Indian Creek .665, and Hevi-13 3" #6's is a deadly combo in that gun.
