RECOMMEND A TURKEY CALL
The easiest way to take a turkey is to find their haunts, pattern their movements, roost a bird at night, call him in to you the morning. Calling them away from a bunch of hens is the toughest. Setting yourself up in the right area to call from so the bird can walk to you means you'll have to know the terrain and what's between you and him. Movement and sound are the hunter's worst mistakes to make. As for videos, usually in the same aisle as the turkey calls you'll find some instructional videos. I think you can find stuff on YouTube to get an idea of what to do. Offerings in our shops in NJ may be limited so check some of the better online sources. Box & push button calls are the easiest to work with and master for good sound. Mouth calls (latex reed) are the toughest to master. You'll also want a "locator call" like an owl, crow, etc. as well: http://www.realtree.com/turkey-hunting/articles/10-best-locator-calls-for-turkeys Go to this website or send away for this catalog and you'll see how many calls are out there. They have everything for the turkey hunter. https://www.midwestturkeycall.com/content/7-catalog-request

RECOMMEND A TURKEY CALL
I have all types because all produce different sounds. My Lynch box call is a favorite, so is a custom purple heart box call for a different sound. I also have a slate, some push-button box calls, and like mouth calls when hunter movement is to be limited.

Davis Sporting in Sloatsburgh
It is not the same shop nor do they have as much reloading stuff in stock like they used to.

Davis Sporting in Sloatsburgh
Davis has some powder, and a handful of reloading supplies like buckshot. Master Class further north off 17 has what you are looking for. http://www.masterclassrange.com/retail-store/

Dems blocking ccw reform
“To put it simply, if these regulations were adopted, it would allow every cab driver, every pizza delivery driver, every Uber driver and any one else living or working in a high crime neighborhood to qualify for a firearms permit,” said Senator Loretta Weinberg. How can anyone pass off this statement as a BAD thing???

Legion FAIL
Remove right grip panel and ensure the trigger bar spring is not broken and is installed in the proper locations. Make sure trigger bar is not broken. The piece above the notch where the trigger bar spring sits often breaks. When it breaks off, the trigger will not reset. Make sure the safety lever (inside the frame, behind the trigger bar) is not broken or bent. If the safety lever's lower tab is broken, the trigger bar will not move it forward, resulting in the hammer not falling.

Easiest shotgun to maintain/clean?
You can get a left-handed safety button for a Model 37. http://ithacagun.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=77 As for the bolt release being on the "right" side, remember that the bolt release on a standard 870, M12, BPS, & 500, are all located on the left-side of the shotgun, either fore or aft of the trigger.

That happens with a lefty shooting a shotgun with a right-handed safety. There are after-market left-handed safeties for right-handed Rem. 870's. BTW - No one mentioned the Ithaca M37, a lefty-friendly pump when paired with a left-handed safety.

What makes one cartrige more widely used over another....
I've been shooting my 6mm Rem. for 35 years now. Great round, accurate with many powder types, and can handle a bevy of bullet weights from fairly light to heavy. It's not as popular a chambering as the .243 Win., but both of these cartridges are great rounds. http://www.accurateshooter.com/cartridge-guides/243win/

What makes one cartrige more widely used over another....
A happy mix of good accuracy, bore life, throat life, ballistic coefficient and sectional density. Military cartridges were picked based on a mix of bore and throat longevity since most of them are found in full-auto firearms. Hunting rounds may sacrifice throat or barrel life at the expense of superior velocity for long range and are why guys like Weatherby, Lazzeroni, Mashburn and Ackley gained fame as wildcatters. Many of their cartridges today are factory production rounds.

Fleeing NJ: Tepper's Move May Affect New Jersey Budget Forecaster Warns
Interesting how just one man's wealth and loss of his "contribution" can cause such a calamitous commotion in a certain state. Many people who want to reap the benefits of the wealth they've accumulated over the years have left this state in droves. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2015/01/10000_millionaire_households_fled_nj_last_year_study_says.html

Henry BB bolt removal
It's as easy as it sounds. Just like a Marlin. Put the ejector back in its slot/groove then slide the bolt in and you're set to install the lever and screw.

Replacement front bead/sight for SKB505?
Be thankful it wasn't a genuine ivory bead front sight. Losing one of those smarts!

Replacement front bead/sight for SKB505?
Often the bead gets knocked off the base, fairly common with heavy use. I would use Loctite on the threads to keep the next one in place. Some sights have a habit of rattling loose. As for alignment, Brownells has a gunsmith tool to ensure you get perfect alignment so the face is square to the shooter, but I don't know if you'd need it for a one-time application. https://www.brownells.com/userdocs/learn/Inst-349%20Stgn%20Bead%20Fac%20Cutter.pdf I have Raybar's on my Ithaca's, and one on a Browning A-5. The Raybar has held fast on the Browning's recoiling barrel since the 60's. I have nothing bad to say about it.

Replacement front bead/sight for SKB505?
Target models typically had a white Bradley bead from sight. The trend today is fiber optic. I have no issues with the old RayBar front sight, I've always liked them. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/78882-clueless-about-fiber-optic/?hl=raybar#entry1001351 Thread size for your shotgun should be 6-48: http://www.brownells.com/GunTech/Shotgun-Sight-Bead-Thread-List/detail.htm?lid=11183

These are still popular upstate New York. I occasionally see them, especially amongst squirrel hunters.

You gonna taze me bro?
Crime is on the upswing in Englewood. So much so that all the streets downtown now have surveillance cameras. There's been a rash of shootings and lots of arrests with drugs and guns in the mix the last few years. BTW - This town is part of the 37th District, Loretta Weinberg's district!
