I bought my licenses. I'm not sure we'll be able to go where we did last year, though. There's still 5' of snow at the summit. I've never seen that much snow left this late in the year. We'll see.

Sweet! I'm going online and buy my permit today.

Double Moo, do you want to try getting out again this year? With the amount of snow still up there, we may not be able to drive up AF Canyon to where we did last year. Here's to hoping, though.

Funny story from yesterday afternoon. The Forest Service asked me to drive up and look at the current trails conditions to see if the trails are ready to open yet or too muddy still from last weeks...

Well, we saw some on the first day we went out (funny story, actually). Double moo got a shot off but, the tom was booking it over an embankment and wasn't hit. The second day we went out, didn't...

I've been up doing trailwork the last 2 evenings and have been able to call turkeys both days. Tuesday, I had hiked back down to my Jeep, loaded back up my trail tools and decided to try calling. I...

Got cleared by the Forest Service to drive past the closed gate at Pine Hollow so, this afternoon I'll be checking things out and doing trailwork at the same time. I have noticed a lot of predator...

Just got back from testing out the new shotgun and turkey load shells. Wow! The Winchester Long Beard XR shells kick like a motha'! I could only shoot 4 of them before my shoulder was done! I...

Good luck! I look forward to a trip report!

What, no chainsaw mounted on the front fork? Lame. :naughty:

Yeah, I like their desert camo pattern. For where I hunt I think it most closely matches up.

I have some pieces of camo clothing but needed a hat, facemask and gloves. I recently found out that the Kings Camo headquarters is less than a mile from my office in AF and they have an outlet...

I just picked up an inexpensive Remington 870. I bought a Carlson's Long Beard Turkey Choke Tube (model # 70120) designed specifically for the Winchester Long Beard XR turkey shells I have on order....

Sheesh! Talk about pricey shells! Federal's 3rd Degree turkey loads: $18 for a box of only 5 rounds on MIdwayUSA. I like the theory behind these shells but, I found a few user low-budget youtube...

Good question for which I don't know the answer.

Cool. I'd love the company. The hunt doesn't start until April 30th so, we have awhile.

AF Canyon is open to the Spring General Season hunt. I put in for Limited Entry but, I don't have any points.

I think I'll give the 3rd Degree shells a try. Seems like best of both worlds and the reviews are stellar.
BTW, if anyone wants to tag along this spring with me, I'll be going up AF Canyon several...

Yeah, I've seen the turkey specific loads but, even within the turkey loads you can choose from 4, 5, or 6 shot. Looks like there's even 7-9 shot available. I guess that's where i'm confused.

I've bought my 2018 turkey hunting license. I'm not sure what shells to buy. Does anyone have any favorites to recommend or what to look for?
