Great bird and nice photos, congrats! Brian's trumpets are deadly.

congrats great turkey

[slamman]

nice bird.  Good news about Brian's trumpet call I just purchased one for myself.  How did he react to the call?  You said he put on the brakes when he spotted your decoy's was that because he didn't like them or was he interested in them.

AWESOME

Hey Stoner, thats the same gun I have, the SX3 Extreme Turkey cantilever. AWESOME Gun too....lol    If you don't mind me asking, what choke tube and constriction are u using and which shells?

As soon as it warms up here in PA i'm gonna try the Hevi-Shot choke at .664 and a Stardot at .668 with the longbeard XR 3.5" 5 shot and Mag Blends.

Last year I used a .670 truglo with mag blends that didnt pattern that bad, I think like 190 in the 10" at 40 yards.
I'm really wondering with lead if the Truglo strut stopper xtreme choke at .643 would shoot through our back bored barrels too.

When it stopped running when it saw the decoys it started to posture like he had an attitude. I had the Dave Smith Jake Decoy set up behind one of DSD hen decoys like it was going to mount the decoy. Love those DSD decoys, not cheap but they work well and worth the investment.

Boss Tom I was using Remington Nitros in #4 shot; I really like the Remington Premium turkey rounds in #5's. Most of my shots in Florida are relatively close, under 30 feet. In Florida I use the factory choke tube that came with the gun.  When I hunt Tennessee I will use the Hevi-Shot Blend with a Indian Creek choke.
