Pheasant Loads for Turkeys? Patterning your shotgun and testing different loads

With a box of turkey loads being fairly expensive for just a 10-round box, and with the recent developments in some of today's high-end pheasant loads, I share my thoughts on patterning your shotgun, and test Federal Premium Ammunition's Prairie Storm pheasant loads for use in turkey hunting.  Testing the pheasant loads in #4 shot, I pattern my Remington 870 turkey gun with the Prairie Storm ammunition and a number of other "turkey" loads - all the way out to 40 yards - and show you just what some of today's high-end pheasant loads can do!  ...costing the same amount of money for a box of 25 as a box of 10 for "turkey" loads, they might be a better economical fit for today's "cost conscious" hunter.

Making a "3/4 Strut" Fan for the Primos Killer-B

Earlier today, I covered how to add wing feathers to your decoy. In this video, I talk about making a "3/4 strut" fan - two different ways - rather than a "full" or "flat" fan for the Primos Killer-B. I also talks briefly about WHY I choose to use a 3/4 strut fan as opposed to a flat fan when decoying gobblers with a strutter decoy.




ALSO: When you glue the bracket "open," you'll need to drill out the center hole a little bit so it slips over the bolt easily. No biggie, but something to take note of. ...and with a natural fan, you'll need to drill it out as well, but it will be easier and last longer if you "seal it" with JB Weld, Epoxy, etc.

Upgrading a Primos Killer-B with Real Wing Feathers

I was asked how I add real wing feathers to my strutter decoy that I use in my Through the Seasons hunting videos. No matter how good your decoy is (unless you're using a stuffer), nothing compares to real feathers for adding realism and increasing your turkey decoy's effectiveness, and in this Sweet Feed, I go over how YOU can add real feathers to your decoy.
