    Looks like I'll be going back to Iraq..

    I'm not sure if I will be returning to the same base I spent the past two years at or if they need be elsewhere. I decided to go back for another year after discussing it with my wife over the weekend. No jobs around here that will pay the bills. I came back on R&R but remained on medical leave...

    Looks like I'll be going back to Iraq..

    Well, I figured after three straight years in Iraq that I was through with it. I guess not. I have about two ore weeks here stateside and then I'll be going back to the Middle East for another year. Oh well, it's a job...

    How many calls to you carry?

    That's not something a turkey hunter would say... sorry, but shooting a turkey out of the roost is not "TURKEY HUNTING" Bud.... That's turkey killing and not sporting at all. That sort of thing is no different that spotlighting a deer in the headlights as far as I'm concerned...

    How many calls to you carry?

    I can't believe that people that feel the need to post in this topic when they have no appreciation for the sport of Turkey hunting (turkey calling). It's all about calling them in people, not killing a turkey. Killing the turkey is a bonus. Shooting a turkey out of a roost could get you shot in...

    Patterned my LH 1187

    I have another turkey choke but this one looks to be tighter just from holding both up next to each other. I should get off my butt and go down in my shop and use the calipers and check to make sure. I'm tied up in so many firearm projects all at once right now.. The good thing is that all of...

    How many calls to you carry?

    I'll take about a dozen to maybe 15 mouth diaphram calls, a couple of slate calls, a couple of box calls, a crow call and a varmint call. I will also take 5 inflatable decoys with me as well. I have one of those large turkey vests so it all fits.

    Patterned my LH 1187

    First off, let me tell you this proves how bad I suck at shooting a shotgun. It's kind of embarrassing.. Been playing with the same shotgun from the discussion in the other thread. Decided to try some different Turkey Loads in it and see what the patterns looked like. It would have been...

    LH 1187 Turkey Shotgun project

    This particular choke is a Remington Ventilator turkey tube. I'm not real sure what the restriction is but I could take a set of calipers to check it if you like mdcrossbow.

    LH 1187 Turkey Shotgun project

    I have several other different loads here. I will likely try some others before the season starts. Our season doesn't start until April 15, so I still have some time. I think the patterns I shot yesterday do prove that the gun shows promise though. I'll be waiting for your results.....

    LH 1187 Turkey Shotgun project

    Well, I've been in Iraq for the past three years. I came back here about 7 weeks ago on medical leave for knee surgery. I'm pretty well healed up already and waiting for a release from the doctor to go back to work. I'm planning on getting back to work in the real world once I get released. I'm...

    LH 1187 Turkey Shotgun project

    Hey thanks Kraven, I'm pretty happy with the project. I still need to pattern it and see if it will hit where I'm trying to get it to hit and all that sort of stuff. It does look good though. The picture doesn't really do it justice. This was my dad's turkey gun (he was left handed also) and I...

    Powder Problems ?

    I never thought of that Rick. I'll load up some of the loads that shoot like they are supposed to with IMR7828 and check the velocity against the published data.. thanks!

    Powder Problems ?

    Yea, actually I did actually. The loading data was for cases formed from blown out .404 Jeffrey cases. I even have 33 brand new (probably the last known in the world) factory fresh .338 Imperial Magnum cases from Imperial Cartridge Corporation. I took one of each of those cases along with one...

    Powder Problems ?

    Man, I've been fighting my .338 Imperial Magnum since I got home. I've had nothing but problems with the loads. When I was home in June of last year on my last R&R, I test fired it with 200 gr Nosler Accubonds and found that my rifle would not handle the mazimum poad for IMR7828 with those...

    What states can a 10 Y/O hunt in for BIG GAME ?

    No problem in New Mexico as long as the kid has a hunter safety card. No minimum age here. both of my kids killed their first bucks in NM at 8 years old.

    Just finished my hunt (England)

    Well, I figured everyone has seen Red Deer or pictures of them at least. The Muntjac isn't something you would see everyday and most folks have never heard of 'em...

    Just finished my hunt (England)

    I didn't need to even purchase any kind of license or anything at all except for third party shooters insurance, which is only obtained by joining BASC, which is like their NRA. The way it was explained to me was something like this.... If I was using a guide's rifle I didn't need a firearm...
