Remember when we couldn’t say his name because Ben O’Brien was a little bitch who threatened to ban us? Where ya at now, Ben? How’s G&A working for ya?
Anyway…..
Scott posted a video somewhere on stalking up to turkeys with a Tom decoy. Saw it and knew I had to do it before I got too old to do it. Ain’t real smart pretending to be the bird people are trying to shoot, but I’ll be on private land. Probably won’t die.
Got my .410 re-scoped from a See All open sight (I SO wanted to like that) to a Vortex RDS. Muuuuuch better. Modified my scope mount a bit to make it easier to load the gun. When I made the mount last year I left metal where it didn’t need to be left. Cut that out, powder coated the base and slapped it together.
Now to sight it in and find a dumb turkey.

Video or it didn’t happen.

Re: I blame SCOTT MAYER!
Saw that on onenof the TV hunting shows, along with using a mirror for a blind. Both worked, for the TV show amyways.
Re: I blame SCOTT MAYER!

Re: I blame SCOTT MAYER!
Any of the outcomes I can predict from success to your spectacular demise with a face full of shot would be epic on video, so please work this out!!!

Mossberg.
There’s enough, if they want to. And since it’s a 100% custom mount, they probably don’t want to.

Well, are you in the mount making bidness also now?

I may have an extra one.

If you can't conure up or modify a go-pro type mount... I'd be surprised.
Go-pro knock off cams are cheap on the zon.

Yeah, this definitely needs video. Preferably from multiple angles.

How far?

Seems good for a 410.

Re: I blame SCOTT MAYER!
That should work at 30 yds. Or, we might get some good video of you getting assaulted by a Tom turkey

Just be damn careful. I used fanning on the open prairies of South Dakota where you could see for miles and miles

Re: I blame SCOTT MAYER!
I'm not 100% certain, since I don't turkey hunt, I haven't kept up with the regs, however, I believe that's prohibited in this state.
Glad it worked out for you though
