    It was probably  about 10 minutes  in . I was using  a  hs strut raspy old hen box call.  I had a bird responding  and working  my way then it went quiet. I figured  maybe  I over called so I picked  up my decoys and hit the call one more time and out the bear stepped.  When he got to twenty I figured  I'd better  back out slowly   . Had my 10mm with me as I seem to have had a spell of running  into bears .

    Yeah that's always a concern on the spring hunts I have been on as their always out of the den by then. I've called exclusively for them a bunch but I'm no Reed Petersen. My only bear was a solo spot and stalk in 2000.

    A bear coming  in to your call at 30 yds will  get your attention  quickly.  I now get a otc tag just in case . It will probably  never happen  again  .

    Chris how long into the calling did it come in what call were you using?

    I have a 2000 I bought new that has 323K or there abouts since I haven't run the stock size tires since the factory set got replaced at 30K.  Saying "Don’t need to sell so please don’t waste my time" is a huge turnoff. 

    You seem fairly young, maybe that's a generational thing saying that as I seen it said by guys in their early 20's. But, it is a nice looking truck though you're quite a bit high at that price but it's a good starting point. GLWS.

    Thanks for the update. Any close up pics!  And has your research shown if they can survive mange and regrow their coats?

     

    If not treated they may live for a couple of years but to survive and regrow fur they need to be treated with ivermectin.

    This is a fun topic. I think the fun in turkey hunting is in the calling and getting them in close. Have I shot birds at 40+ yards before? Yes, but for me it is much more exciting to have birds under 20 where you can feel the vibration of the spit and drum and hear his long wing feathers dragging the ground and really see the color changing on a toms head when he is in close. A lot of this comes down to where you pick to setup before calling. One of the things I remember most from the late Marvin Robbins seminars was how he taught the importance of setting up where you can only see to your shooting capabilities so when the tom shows up he is in range and you can kill him. If the tom shows up and can see you at 80 yards there is a good chance he can see your setup and will not come any closer for you to get a shot. Even if you are using decoys, they only work for me about 25% of the time. If you want to be a more successful turkey hunter pay more attention to where you set up.

    I guess its kind of like Coues hunting, you can glass deer and shoot them at 1000+ yards but is it more fun to save money on gun setup try to get closer or even into archery range? There is no right answer, it is up to the hunter to get the experience he is looking for out of each hunt.

    Only once have I called one in that strutted, drumming about 6' away it was pretty amazing. Walked right past me and the landowner down in Sonora. Disappeared into a wash and my friend was able to take his first turkey just as the sun was about to rise.

    Hot dang hope your buddy is gonna be ok.  But I'm with Casey, you saw pigs and decided to kill one while your buddy is waiting for the evac, lol hard.  I don't want to hunt with you ever.  Congrats on the pig though.  Hope you guys are still friends.  

    Don't be a pussy. A Mans Gotta Do What A Mans Gotta Do. Pickles would expected you to do the same thing.

    Good afternoon, 

    I’ve been looking through the regs and I can’t seem to find anything regarding legal shot size for turkeys. Does anyone know if there is a regulation on shot size in AZ?

    After doing lots of research on turkey loads, the TSS 9 shot seems to be incredibly lethal. So, I just want to ensure I’m good to go before spending the $70! 

    Thanks, 

    Cameron

    Cameron what shells are you looking at?

    May I ask, what makes this rifle range certified?

     

    Here you go Russ.

    "Range Certified rifles are hand picked and test fired at the factory to ensure that you receive only the highest quality rifle. The end result of this process is a rifle with a factory shot target signed by Ed Weatherby certifying the rifle passed the most rigorous accuracy test's with flying colors. Furthermore the hinged floorplate of the rifle will sport the Range Certified engraving for all to admire."

    So basically hyperbole. A gimmick. Big question is which model is it? Old Roy is probably laughing his butt off.
