As already said your better off buggin IN. I'm in South Jersey. Bridges would most likely be shut down or clogged with traffic. Set up a GET HOME bag and prepare to stay at your residence. With wife and kids I'd need pack mules to carry all my gear. Lol.

As punishment I'll say 3 hail Marys and have a glass of whiskey. Tonight.... Now.....

My bad. Lol

Lol. I was trying to keep the negatives out of the man's topic. Lol. Sorry guys...this took a turn for the worse....lol.

Bob's little sport shop is probably the closest to you. I haven't been there in a while. I hear they do compliant work. I'm sure he has more than a few compliant ARs on his shelf.

I don't hunt WMAs on mornings of stocking days, I'll go in the afternoon or I'll go on weekdays.

I see breasts. Little ones, big ones.... LOL

Damn it. Got a work program that Saturday. Figures.

I have my 2 boys who I have to put on birds. My youngest this is his first season. Haha. No pressure. I have a few other guys that I communicate with (text) to see who's hunting where, when ,etc. Sometimes we hunt together but mostly alone. Kids schedules, work schedules etc get in the way. I got B and C week for myself and I'll probably grab a D week online tomorrow morning if they don't sell out too quickly. After this snow/rain passes check the roads and trails for their footprints, may give you an idea about where they are going or coming from. Good luck to you as well. If/when I Know other guys are in the area I wear a blaze orange hat when heading back to my truck. You hunt long enough you and other turkey hunters will try and call each other in. Lol.

Happy Easter. Over the counter permits go on sale tomorrow morning at 10am sharp. If you want one BE ONLINE at 10am. They sell fast at least down here in South Jersey they do. The popular weeks in the zone I hunt (15) has less than 50 for a few weeks. They will sell out in minutes. I hunt state land (Wharton)mostly. It's tough hunting. I like D week because it's 2 weeks instead of one week and you can also hunt til sunset instead of the usual noon time shut off time. On rainy days scout the fields for birds. When raining they don't like hanging in the woods. All the rain pitter patter spooks em so they head for open fields. Also scout some swamp edges. A popular spot for them to roost. Look for turkey droppings at base of trees or below some large branches. That's a roost. Don't do any calling to them now. Don't educate them. Watch from a distance. Trust me when I say that when you see them....they see you. Trust me. Lol. If you want them to shock gobble get a crow call or an owl call. I'm not familiar with the turkey hunting up your way. Best of luck. Nick

No beer on the fridge. Will browse the bourbon/whiskey I have in the cabinet....

Haha. Yep. Sorry about that. Different site has a Ruger discussion going on. Got em mixed up. Pretty much all (few) Ruger wheel guns I've handled always felt great.

Don't currently own one but last week handled one in 44 special. 3" Barrel. It was sweet. If it had any practical use for ME here in NJ other than punching paper I might consider buying it. It had an unfluted cylinder. Love that look.

If driving down, go thru Kentucky and do some of the whiskey/bourbon tours. Nashville is an awesome place.

Joining the crowd. Gonna leave as is for now. The only thing I may improve upon is the sights. Nick

Be better in a 20ga platform.

Agree. Got my pops Stevens 311. 12ga. M/F barrels. Shoots birdshot for shit. Years ago fartin around at the range with buckshot in the gun. This thing shoots lightening bolts with 2 3/4" Winchester plated #1 buckshot. I've rolled more than a few deer with it. May take that gun for a walk this deer season. Nick

As already said just get the barrel threaded for chokes. It's cheaper than a new barrel from Beretta. Much cheaper. Start with a IC choke and go from there. Nick

If hunting behind a pointing dog the 7 1/2s should be okay. If just walking and flushing or pass(tower) shooting then I'd go for high brass 6s. I'd even bring high brass 5s. Hitting pheasant isn't hard. Hitting them hard enough that they drop and don't run is another thing. Good luck. Nick

I agree. Just curious. I personally would not even use them for self defense. I want as much power/energy as I can shoot.

Interesting. Has anybody used these for hunting? A Definite neat factor but wonder how practical they are. Nick

LE has been in Evesham schools as long as my kids have been in school(middle and elementary). Almost 10 years. Always see a police vehicle parked outside. Evesham now has a job listing on their Facebook page looking for retired LE to work in the schools. $35 an hour.

Correct. In one of the shootings as soon as LE showed up and confronted him he went and hid then put a bullet in his own head.

Hmm. I've got a #5. Was my father's. His father before that. I know it's Colt 38. I'll dig it out tomorrow to see which one.

Evesham Unsure of exact dates but submitted paperwork for some P2P last month and they called today that they are ready for pickup. Didn't expect them this quickly. Lol Nick
