Here’s this year’s gobbler. I wore a plaid flannel shirt and brown cotton duck bib overalls. Doesn’t make it any easier than wearing camo, but, camo isn’t necessary if you hold REAL still until the moment of truth!
One thing I like about the muzzleloading crowd is thumbing our noses at much of what the modern hunting industry tells us we NEED to be successful.
Good luck, Skychief.
I do all my hunting from the ground in jeans and plaid or earth tone shirts. camo for hunting is a gimmick for the most part. I mostly whiptail deer hunt here in SC and kill deer as close as 30yds or so. the key to success is wind and movement. you control that and you have it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I have a question about using shotguns. Do you use lead or copper shot in your front stuffers? I have a Double Barrel 12 gauge I built in the early 80's and used #7 shot for "Trying to bust" clay bids and did shoot a couple of dove after about 20 shots. I hunted turkey once and bought a box of turkey loads in 12 gauge and would cut the crimped end off of the shells and pour the Copper shot down the barrel over 80 grains of 2F, over powder card, wad, over wad card, shot and then over shot card. That worked best in my old double. I had some help with that load from some shotgun shooters around Electra, TX at what they called a "Quail Walk" match. Before all of the cards under and over the wad it was shooting donuts at 25 yards.
I sure want to take a bird with the Double this fall or next sping.
