the heavier the better so whatever you can handle. turkeys are tough. i use 3.5inch 2.25ounce load of number 4's. havnt had to shoot a bird twice yet. all tagged out for this season.
anywhere on the blackstone river, anytime of the year. wonder bread is the trick. i've cought thousands of carp, the average on my part of the river is 7-10lbs. can go catch6 of them now in an hour. my persnal biggest was 14.5, but my freand pulled a 20lb out late one night.
we hit a couple 3lb bass but nothing that big. i did catch a 14in bass that got bitten by a pike on the pull in, looked like a shark tried to rip it in half, it's guts were hanging out.
not true, there's pics of proof, we get our bait at the same place. i've personally seen pike nearly this big come out of there. i know most don't belive it but that's ok, more water space for me :)
in part of mass. that i live in, we're not going to get many shoots outside of 100yds. i shoot a 22mag, it's quite, strong enough to do the job and easy to carry. i picked up a marlin 25m a while ago for 125.00. the thing is a tack driver out to 100+yds.
i recently picked up a used model 10 .38 speacial. great gun, and a blast to shoot. my problem is i've searched and searched and can't seem to find out when it was made. i can find info on all serial numbers but this one. BSP10xx i know i can probally call smith and wesson but if someone knows...
here's another. in my stand by 5a.m. about 530ish a deer trotted by my stand, to dark just let it go. saw nothing else. tomorrow i'll get em. goodluck everyone.
personally if it does,nt have spots and it gives me a shot it's dead. Priority number one is feeding myself all year. After i have one in the freezer then mabey i look for a trophy.
