I’ve got a G40 with upgraded KKM barrel and compensator. Put a heavier spring in it as well. It shoots great

Awesome. A few years ago I was the first one to document one in our county. Was actually the 3rd one I’d ever seen. It was eating another non venomous snake. Talked to the biologist for an hour.

I left my house at 3:30 yesterday morning to cover a case in Tallahassee. Knowing I’d be done fairly early I threw my stuff in my work with plans to stop by our property on my way back. That’s just what I did. I made it to our gate at 10:35.

I changed clothes, gathered my things and slowly walked to a shady spot I had in mind. I was about 25yds off of the same plot we killed youth weekend. I set out Remus (my taxidermy decoy) and got comfortable.

At 11:00 I hit the slate at 65% volume and got no response in the breezy air. I checked work emails and might if dozed off for a few. The next time I checked the clock it was 11:32. I ran my slate at 30% this time. No response. Set it down and just peered across the field reflecting on this incredible season so far.

Then at 11:45 I spotted a red head crest the rise coming from the bottom. Then 2 more heads. Great I thought, it’s the 3 Jakes I had on camera a week or so back. They worked to my left against the woodline. Still thinking they were Jakes I lightly helped behind me, and then one blew up in strut. Full fan! I yelped again and they spotted the decoy and here they come.

To my surprise they were all long beards. They all marched up to the decoy at 17 steps. I wanted him close because Im shooting an old SxS 16ga with short open barrels and #5 pheasant loads. I had to wait for them to separate and once they did I yelped lightly raising the strutters head. Boom! He flopped and the other 2 jumped up and the show commenced.

For 30min the 2 stood over picking and strutting on their fallen companion. I took pictures and videos until they eventually eased off into the bottom. That is the 7th one I’ve seen die this year. #2 for myself.

Box call stays on my shelf. I’ll use 2 different slates, but once they’re inside 200 mouth call and scratching.

Put my buddys 7yo on 2 yesterday morning for the FL N Zone youth opener. Was raining so we sat in the vacant farm house and he rolled them 30yds out the back window

AT3 ARO has been great for us

Semi just lets you waste 3 shells faster??
I’ve killed them with several different guns/gauges. My favorite is a youth 870 20ga

I keep looking at 22 creedmor videos lol. I’m know my next scope will be a Burris eliminator though. We have some big ag fields and powerlines that you can see 1,000 yds. I’d like to be able to stretch it out.

Saw 15 deer year afternoon in SE Alabama. They’re moving a lot better now that the snow is starting to melt. Killed a doe with my 10mm. 30yds and dropped her.

Yes and his brother. Deer Meat for Dinner
