  1. Should be "typical North Eastern attitude".
  2. There go my dreams of a vacation home in Belize, funded by selling my stock pile of green tips
  3. Not much of a difference between #4 & #5 to make too much difference. More pellets in #5 so more chances of a kill. It only takes one pellet in the right place to do the job. You're looking for a 20-35 yard shot, with turkey loads to be most effective. Also shoulder that gun tight. Turkey loads, especially 3.5" kick pretty hard out of a pump. One more thing are you going alone? Or with someone that knows how to call? The hardest part isn't pulling the trigger on them. It's getting them to come into your set. You can't stalk turkey, it's illegal and a great way to wind up shot by another hunter. Turkey have insanely great eyesight! They can actually see you blink from 100 yards away. Practice being perfectly still for long periods of time. And use extremely slow movements if you need to adjust for a shot. Really a blind is one of the best methods to stay consealed for newbies. A two man team is a great way to hunt turkey one shooter one caller. Whatever you do, and this is important! Don't go out now locating with calls now. You don't want to educate the turkey in your spot. Look for tracks, ground scratching. A lot of skat, and feathers under trees in one spot is a good sign of a roosting area. Great spot to slip into before the sun comes up. Turkey sleep in trees at night and jump down just before or at first light. That's your best chance of seeing one usually. Have a plan before you go out, it's hard walking around in the dark woods trying to find a roosting area bumping into bears lol. That's always a good time in the pitch black. I mark my trail in with reflective thumb tacks in the trees to help me find my already set up the day before blind. Good luck this season, hope you kill a big Tom!
  4. I use Federal 3.5" turkey loads, have tried Remington as well the Federal just patterns better out of my gun. I would definitely put a few different shells through your gun on paper before you decide what to settle on. The only problem with that is its expensive to do so. A box of 3.5" turkey loads aren't cheap and they only come in boxes of 10. I shoot turkey with a Browning Maxus with an X-full invector + extended turkey choke. My Mossberg 935 with the X-full ultimag extended turkey choke patterns Remington 3.5" better on paper. There's a free turkey head target download available on the njfishandwildlife.com website to help you pattern. Another tip: go buy your turkey shells now! Once the season is actually here its slim pickings in the stores for shells. This is what I'm using again this year, gun is staying home. I just don't enjoy gun hunting anymore, not enough of a challenge for me after 27 year's of killing.
  5. Anything is better than Newark NJ, except maybe Camden. RUN don't walk away from here. Remember if you can make it in Newark, you can make it anyplace! The toughest guy from Scranton wouldn't last 10 minutes, walking down Avon street in Newark after dark... anywhere you go out there is an improvement in multiple ways.
  6. Lol, I left that part out hahahha. I'm not selling yet.
  7. Good thing I read this thread! I just told ten friends, to tell ten friends, to tell ten friends. To go buy all the .223 & 5.56 they can find, before Obama bans it all, and the apocalypse comes!
  8. Our order has been shipped! I'll update when they show up.
  9. This^^^^^^^^
  10. That's cool with me! I'm in bro! We can build snowmen and shoot the crap out of them B)
  11. http://www.wagner-industries.com/ This place can make anything out of metal you can dream up. Bring them an old one, they'll make you new ones.
  12. I checked your correct, I edited the poll. I'm going to St. Martin the 21st - 28th just checked, so I'm out for those dates. I'll post a picture from the nude beach on the French side.
  13. What's the hunter ed schedule for Black River on Saturday 14th?
  14. How about they re define "body Armor" to "AR500 plate or better". Soft body armor would no longer be considered "armor" then. They can call it "less lethal clothing" instead.
  15. Anyone want to do a March Shootout? We missed February, it was just too dam cold.
  16. I'm going already with a group of guys from NJhunter.
  17. 1. Your barrel has no threads your getting a bolt on Don't have to take it off here. 2. Your barrel has threads Brake MUST be blind pinned Or welded to the barrel. Special note: ***if your barrel is threaded, and it's a 14.5". Your adding a brake to get a 26" oal. Then it needs to be pinned and the pin needs to be welded over, or brake needs to be welded to the barrel.*** Comprende? (Me personally: if I were going the bolt on route, I would tack weld it to the barrel on the bottom as well. For function reasons, not legal reasons.)
  18. I have the same issue, they now make contacts for astigmatism's. I ware them every day, they work well. I ware normal shooting eye protection with them in. I had them in the day we went to G&S last year for Basic Pistol. I have to say more than shooting they really help with driving at night, and being able to read signs before your right on top of them. Especially in foul weather, the difference is amazing! A lot of people in the reviews say these lenses give them dry eyes, but I don't have that problem. This is what I ware http://www.acuvue.com/products-acuvue-oasys-for-astigmatism They have a free month supply trial code in that link. Order a free month if you don't like them you spent nothing to find out.
  19. Why would you remove when you came home??? Brakes/compensators are legal in NJ as long as they're not also "flash hiders".
  20. I understand that. Your preaching to the converted brother.
  21. Lol, if you don't own a VP9, sounds like you're the guy in need of help hahhah.
  22. The caveat here is: "armor piercing ammunition that can be used in a handgun."
  23. The warning to the public from Fish & Game below. Following is the official Division of Fish and Wildlife statement regarding the use and possession of air guns equipped or manufactured with silencers: As per a recent interpretation by the State Attorney General's Office, the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's Bureau of Law Enforcement is advising sportsman and sportswomen that the possession and use of air guns equipped with silencers is illegal pursuant to New Jersey Criminal Law. Silencers are defined as any device designed to lessen or muffle the noise of the gun discharging. We urge all users of air guns to determine through the manufacturer of the firearm whether or not they are so equipped. The possession and use of such air guns is ILLEGAL. It is important to note that the ultimate responsibility lies with the person using the gun to determine if it is equipped with a silencer per the law by contacting the firearm's manufacturers. For more information on the use of air guns for hunting in New Jersey, see the Air Gun FAQs: NJ Air Gun FAQs (pdf, 90 kb ) The letter you never heard of, that was sent out to NJ firearms retailers:
