Turkey hunting and BS welcome!

Yea , not sure if it was shot or a car hit it . But I’m guessing a gun shot where the hole is

 

Ive seen stuff like that poached

 

Special season went until January 1st here , made it was wounded then ………..or no

 

Ordered the Vortex Venom red dot for the turkey gun from Palmetto State Armory . Was $80 off .

 

Whoa that's fancy!

 

Vortex is good product

 

Definitely. I have a scope and 2 pairs of binoculars from Vortex

 

I have scopes, binos and range finder

 

Vortex mounted up to the Turkey Thug Mossberg
Just need to pattern it .

 

Baaacawk! I mean....gobble gobble!

 

No experience with the vortex but I've got a couple Burris FF3s in 3MOA. One on a 20 gauge for turkeys and another on my henry 30-30 for deer. Didn't care for them when I had younger eyes but love them these days. Am sure you will like the vortex, has good reviews.

 

Burris was on my list also ,it was about $100 cheaper than the Vortex . But I have had good luck with Vortex products. My eyes are not the greatest either so hopefully it works out . Thanks

 

In case you don't know, those red dots can be fickle to sight in, easy to over adjust. Best to shoot some dove loads at around 15' then switch to turkey loads to fine tune at 30yd and one or two final test at 40yds. To do any of it I shoot the gun off sand bags, mark center of pattern leaving the target up. Then I put the gun in a vise and lock down with dot on bullseye and carefully crank the dot slowly to the center of the marked pattern. Will save you some shells.

 

Thanks again . I’ve been watching some YouTube stuff on this red dot also .Exactly what you say if I have any problems I have a friend who is a gun guru that can give me a hand

 

I just bought a holosun he508t I love it more than I wanted to spend but I'm really happy with it. The way I sight red dots in is to make a black circle about 1 inch around and at 5 yards you want the hole to just be touching the bottom of the black circle. That will get you pretty close at 35 to 40. I never shoot a turkey load till I'm 100% happy with the pattern from my bird loads.

 

Earlier in the year still on SD card I pulled today .

 

Oh boy ! One big ole double bearded bird in the bunch too! The one closer to power pole .

 

Wont be long!
