I've always considered Spring Turkey season as going with the previous year's regular season so I'm bringing this great thread back to the front page. GA Spring season begins this Saturday. We had a 'youth hunt' this last Saturday. Anyone connect?
As I am still recovering from open heart surgery my plan for Saturday is to use a .410 with Tungston #9 supershot. That should be a new twist because I've always been a 12ga man. We'll see...Geo

New twist indeed. Especially for someone who once told me I was "wasting my time" with a .410 on a dove field!!  Seriously, I'm thrilled you are recovered to where you can actually chase a gobbler this spring. Kudos! My grandson Jackson had several gobblers within 25 yards Saturday morning but couldn't get a shot. Just a bad set-up for him. Set him on fire, tho', as you well can imagine. Good luck Saturday, buddy. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Nice pictures, Dustin. I suppose someone who has never used a sling on a shotgun will be along to tell you how wrong you've got it all.
Best,
Ted

Something you don't think about with double guns. Taken at the Predatormasters Hunt in Tucson in Feb.. 16x16/6.5x58R Sauer 29 paces with an ounce of NP BB's  12/22 Savage Highpower(5.6x52R) 39 paces with 1 1/4 ounce of NP BB's  52 paces with the same 1 1/4 oz of NP BB's  Never needed the rifle barrels the coyots were being very cooperative.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Dustin, great photos. The scenery belies the old adage about hunting chuks: "First time is for the sport; second time is for revenge." 16 or 12 R-10? Gil

Thanks for posting those, LeFusil!
My wife and I are preparing to leave the garden state in a year or so, and Utah is on the top of our list. As such, I've been soaking up every bit of Chukar info I can find on the net.

My late Father told me the very best day of his life was when he saw a sign near the Poconos that said, "You are now leaving the state of New Jersey, have a safe trip", about 1965 or so. In later years, he always remarked that New Jersey was a great place, maybe the best place in the world, to be "from". I was born there, but, moved away before I knew anything about it. I rode my 750 GSXR back to visit an elderly uncle a few years after 9/11, and the area around Lake Hopacong looked pretty, but, that is near where my Dad was stuck with 7th rifle corps, teaching guardsman and Marine Corp reservists how to shoot the "new" M16, at NARTS, the naval air rocket test station. Man, my Dad hated New Jersey. Best, Ted
