OK let's talk a bit..I'll start. I am 45 and been hunting turkeys since I was 12 but in reality since I was about 10 tagging along with my Dad. My Dad use to make diaphragm mouth calls from scrap aluminum and ballons when I was just little. I called my first gobbler to his gun when I was 10 using one of those calls. Today I use an assortment of mouth calls, box calls, and slates. I have taken birds in California and Pennsylvania. (only 2 states I have hunted them in). I shoot a Mossberg 935 with a Pure Gold choke and use Hevishot 3.5" 6 shot which throws a wicked pattern. I installed some Williams Slugger sites on it to dial in my pattern. I have a 13 yo son who loves to hunt turkeys too and I called in his jake that he shot last year. We are both excited for the upcoming spring season.
