Never, used choke lube. I am very particular with cleaning my guns. A light coating of gun oil usually does the trick plus its very easy to clean. Never used face paint either just my regular mask - generally try not to over think things unless some thing costs me a bird. Just my two cents.
Thank you much for the comment, I do appreciate them all. I am still learning a lot, I did not grow up in a hunting family really so I am teaching myself everything and having to relearn a lot of things because of not being able to hunt for 17 years because of a car accident. I can use all the advise I can get so long as a person is not a jerk about it or talking down to me.

No talking down. The way I see it we are all on this forum to share experiences and learn. It does get emotional at times but I think this is mostly due to the passion of turkey hunting. In fact its almost like a cult LOL. I try to keep things simple and try not overthink things.

I admire your courage and determination to turkey hunt after your car accident. I wish you the best in your endeavors.
Everyone wants to be successful - some just need help.

I am sorry if I implied that you were talking down to me, that was not my intention in any way shape or form, it was just a general comment. I agree, we all get very emotional over this sport that we love. Thank you for the compliment and I wish you the best of luck in your life and hunting endeavors as well.

I've always used breach plug grease on mine. Think it's called Wonderlube made by Traditions.

over the years i have had two differnt guns with stuck choke tubes one i had to heat the barrel to get it out ever since then i have used choke tube grease or automotive antiseize without anymore problems

I use this.  recommended by Trulock and I use it for so many other things.  One jar will last the rest of your life. I keep a jar in my choke pouch.  I also keep one in my tool box.

Thank you for the recommendation, I never knew there were some many different products out there for it before this thread.

Any kind of anti seize stuff will work. Even automotive stuff
I concur, but I prefer the synthetic stuff since it is almost scentless.

Birchwood Casey or anti seize will be better than straight oil. Just a light coat of it will keep your choke from sticking.  :anim_25:
Good advice.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Being a mechanic I have always had automotive anti seize on hand and has worked very well and lasts a long time

Graphite is one of the best anti seize materials.  Do you have graphite anti seize for a lock so the key always goes in easy? Some people just use graphite from a pencil.

No problem just go to any local parts store and buy a jar and it will last you the rest of your turkey hunting career. Good luck with it and have a great spring
