The trip is in August. We booked a week in southern SA after the safari with a couple days each in Cape Town, Boulder's Beach, Stellenbosch, and Franshoek en lieu of adding additional animals to the hunt.
Regarding taxidermy, we will either be doing the bare minimum, euro mounts & hides, or...
I've got a Garmin Oregon 600 sitting around if you're interested. Never used it much, pretty much brand new. Bought it on a Black Friday sale from Cabelas in 2015 for $220. Don't know what it's worth now, make an offer
The outfitter used a butcher shop in town to cut up critters for clients that are flying home and shipping the meat. Couldn't tell you the name of the place or if that's who they still use now.
It was untrimmed and in huge cuts. I think they just ran all four quarters through the band saw...
Northwest Gander was a good outfit for me in 2019 and @deer_shooter in 2023. If I did it again, I'd drive instead of fly. I'd also try and go peak rut as opposed to early in the season. Lastly, I'd have had a better meat processor work on it or have butchered it myself.
Only an hour drive from Disney to get out to the Cape Canaveral area to fish for reds, snook, and sea trout. The red fishing sucks compared to what it once was but there's still fish to be had. I had a pretty decent half day trip with FineLine fishing charters, Capt Jim and I talked more about...
FYI, I sent a lot of information to @Yooper906 via PM regarding the fine print and paperwork from the outfitter. If anyone else wants it to, let me know. Otherwise I'll be reporting back in August with a full hunt recap both on here and on AfricaHunting.
Hard to give specific recommendations with such broad specs. To start, I'd try to sort out a gauge and if you want singleshot, over under, pump, or semi-auto.
Theres many, many ways to shoot turkeys in the face. Most things will work, some better than others, but it all comes down to personal...
New hotness in turkey guns?
I'd be looking for a lightweight 3" 12ga or 20ga, pistol grip, short barrel, semi-auto, with a red dot sight. Could go as cheap as something like a TriStar Viper G2 for $500 or as expensive as a performance shop Benelli SBE 3 for $2000+
