SHOTGUN CATCHS FIRE AFTER SHOT! Pineylife turkey season 2024. Season 5 ! ep-1

Opening weekend of turkey season 2024 was one to remember. After a slow morning hunting with my dad I decided to go to the other end of the lease and boy did it pay off! BUT not with out a catch. On the first shot The gun went off and blew the chamber open. After trying to rack another shell I noticed the first shell was chrushed and on fire, I blew the shell out and pulled the melted shell out of the chamber just in time to get a second shot off on the returning tom. Thanks to the flextone decoys for the gobbler coming back.
Watch the entire video to see it also unfold on my cellular trail camera.

Ive got that same 870 express and that melted shell is insane. Way to remain calm and get a follow up shot. What a memory and story to tell! Congrats on a nice bird

[@pineylife]

Hard to beat a 870. Great guns!. Thank you I really appreciate it. I'm glad I caught it all on video because I'm not sure anybody would believe me. lol. Thanks again and thanks for watching

[@TNOutdoorsFanatic]

Congrats brother on getting the season off to a good start! Crazy about that shell! We are still looking for our first chance to get in the woods this season. Hopefully we can get out there tomorrow morning.

[@pineylife]

Thank you brother. That shell was crazy. Just glad I got it put out and fixed. Good luck to yall and keep me posted. They are tight lipped right now but should fire back up when the hens head to the nest.

[@swampstalkeroutdoors]

Man that’s crazy about the shell, I’ve never seen that before. Congrats on a nice bird brother glad you got him!

[@pineylife]

Yeah that shell had me shook up worse than the bird. I couldn’t believe that bird came back. Thank you brother

[@terrydodson7637]

That was crazy how it played out. I've never seen a shotshell do that, that was wild.

[@pineylife]

Yes it was. I couldn't believe he came back to the decoy spread. Especially after all that blowing and smacking i was doing on that gun to put the fire out. lol . not counting rechambering shells to make sure it would load before pulling the trigger.

[@apostolicoutdoors]

Nice bird! Glad you’re ok. Coulda been a bad day!!

[@pineylife]

Thank you, Me too. Yes it could have been a bad day.

[@larrye2749]

Congrats great video as always. That could have gone so bad with that shell exploding. Glad you didn't get hurt

[@pineylife]

Thank you brother I really appreciate that. That shell issue could have ended a lot worse. I was lucky.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

What a hunt brother! I've never seen anything like that!! Beautiful bird love the spurs! Congrats on a successful hunt and thank you for sharing!! Good luck with everything my friend!

[@pineylife]

Thank you brother that was one crazy hunt. Im Glad that shell didnt do any more damage. Thanks again and good luck to you too

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Probably would have started my beard in fire lol!!

[@pineylife]

@@MarkJLarsonOutdoors lol. For sure.

[@timothywright8698]

Awesome hunt man!!! That shell incident could have ended much worse, glad you didn’t get hurt. I’ve had 16 gauge shells that barely had enough power to push the shot out the barrel but never seen one do that! I got me a nice longbeard yesterday in Tennessee! Oh and that footage was 🔥!

[@pineylife]

Thank you brother. Your exactly right That could have ended much worse. I wished my b roll camera had caught the footage it didn't come on. Congrats o your long beard. I will go check out the pics. Congrats brother

[@jonathankenton7182]

[@jonathankenton7182]

@@pineylife I’m thankful you are ok. That could’ve been a mess. Thanks for sharing.

[@pineylife]

@@jonathankenton7182 yes it could have been bad. Your welcome. More episodes coming soon

[@dalewalker2379]

Congrats on the thunder chicken. Why do you reckon the bullet caught on fire? Obviously was loaded hot...too much powder. Glad you got him. Made for a good video

[@pineylife]

Thank you brother. I'm Not sure what caused it exactly but I know that when the firing pin struck the primer that allowed the gun to be in position to be ejected and rechambered . Now the chamber coming back and half the load going out the barrel and the other half going out the side might be from being loaded to hot. I have sent Winchester a email to see what they have to say but hopefully I will release a video on it after hearing back from them

[@sbwoodandweld1741]

Crazy, nice bird but I’d like to know more about the shell, never heard of anything like that??

[@pineylife]

Yes it was. The shells was Winchester XR 3 1/2 #4 shot. Crazy thing was not only did the gun fire it , It also blew the chamber back and of course wedged it open. My gun is a Remington 870 Turkey mag express. When the gun went off I noticed there was a hesitation almost like a older muzzle loader. You can actually hear it in the video. I don't believe there was a lot of pellet's came out of the barrel. Some of them come out the side through the exsposed chamber. I burned my fingers on the hot plastic trying to put it out and dislodge the melted shell so I could get a second shot off.
