Title: What's on your new "gear list" for 2015 Season ?
Post by: Mike Honcho on December 18, 2014, 10:30:55 AM
Seems like this time of year I am going over all my gear and shotgun equipment thinking towards next season.  One thing I think I may improve is taking off an inexpensive Red Dot from my Stoeger 3500 and adding a Weaver Kaspa 1-4 power camo turkey scope.  I've got a 935 set up with Tru Glo Magnum Gobble Stopper Pro Series iron sights, and Ithaca 37 Turkeyslayer with Tru Glo turkey red dot and this would give me a shotgun option with a scope.

What's on everyone else's "Wish List"?????

Im switching to not wearing a vest because I carry to much stuff and sweat. Im going with a good tenzing fannypack and scaling down on carrying so many calls. I did buy a sweet pair of uninsulated Meindl boots.

First lite Kanabs in Fusion, try a few more short boxes out. Could use a good shirt in bottomland or treebark camo something thats not cotton and maybe ripstop.

Should have my hands on my new Winchester 20 gauge by the end of the day.
That, a good choke and some HW 7's.  Maybe a new facemask, I think mine was about gone by the end of last season.

Just ordered new dymondwood striker from lights out calls. Lost one last year after taking a bird. Would like a copper call. Just can't decide who from. Either a Larry gresser or a lights out.

Just use your smart phone that way not only can you control every function on your go pro you will then have a view finder to see what your frame looks like.

New pair of pants and shirt in Bottomland, try a few Longbeards to see if they are any good, a couple mouth calls and I should be good.

Sumtoy is installing a set of Williams Fire Sights on my H&R single shot.  Its factory dipped in original Bottomland, and can't wait to dial it in with the sights.  This upgrade should make it the perfect spring turkey gun for toting around the big mountains.

Always had to float the single bead just a tad, but soon those days will be over.

IWOM suit.  But, it's mostly because I've gotten tired of being cold in the deer stand.  It'll probably never see the turkey woods.  Still excited to get it though!   ;D

Gonna be a little hard for him to do that since you're wearing his boots...

Paboxcall post a pic when he gets the sights on. I've always liked those guns but never knew how to put sights on them. How does that thing shoot?

I patterns very well with a Jellyhead .660 and Hevi 13 3-2-7s.  The H&R and my 1300 have the same thread pattern, so both the choke and the loads are interchangeable.

Recoil is massive, this little 12 ga. H&R lacks the heavy barrel you get with a 10 ga. and its chambered for 3.5" shells, but I do not shoot those anymore.  The 3" is plenty on both ends!  :z-dizzy:

New Avian-X hen decoy (not sure which pose is best), and hopefully a steady grip stock for mt M3500 if money agrees with me before May.
