Cool Vid, i'd be carful having blue and red center mast tho lots of people don't completely ID their target.

I was in the Hills at the same time last year for our annual hunt. Ate tag soup but had a few good opportunities I messed up.

[@curlhunts]

[@barrystricklin2230]

Hey bro why did you go away from your over and under shotgun

[@curlhunts]

I lost it in the fall of 2022. Leaned it up against the back of my van, forgot it was there and drove away. Never saw it again

[@barrystricklin2230]

@@curlhunts sorry to hear that it was cool watching you hunt with it l had a stoeger over and under l killed lots of turkeys with very seldom do you see anyone using one in the turkey woods

[@curlhunts]

@@barrystricklin2230 yeah I’d like to get another one when I can afford to. Although I’m really digging using my youth 20 gauge Remington 1100. Easy to tote and it’s a straight shooter

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Am I wrong or is this video done like 9 months ago?

[@curlhunts]

You are correct. There are no seasons in currently so I hold on to content to post now when people are anticipating turkey season
