Our season opens in less than 2 weeks. I'm getting pretty excited. I normally dont spend a ton of time fall hunting turkeys, but have taken a couple and am excited to give it a try this year again.

Uncle Nicky....What kind of dog do you have? I had a mix setter/pointer that I hunted with for about 2 years (epilepsy so bad we had to do the unthinkable. at about 4 yrs. old). It was a lot of work training him but it was special when he finally got us a couple of birds. Hunting with dogs is extra special.

I use and like the hevi shot mag blend out of my Benelli SBE with custom choke. The only bad thing about them is the price.

Got a hen today!!

Congrats!! Lets here the story!:happy0001:

Was walking out to a spot to sit and call walked over the hill about fifteen of the standing 30 yards away lifted up shot took out the biggest one I seen in the group

Maizy Jane Bumpyhead is a pointer/setter/hound mix, lots of guys refer to them as "droppers". She's learning her lessons well. Yes, it is hard work, but I'm confident it will all pay off. Luckily, I've had a lot of help from other turkey doggers as far as training tips and getting together for training & hunts. Most of my training has been basic obedience and teaching her to sit still under a camo bulap.
