New Loads That Make a 20-Gauge Almost a 12-Gauge

By J. Wayne Fears

My, how spring gobbler hunting is changing! The latest generation of shotshells are making a big difference in downrange performance.

I was on a spring gobbler hunt with the management team of Benelli. We were filming hunts for their TV programs and we had split up into two teams. Joe Coogan, Benelli Brand Marketing Manager, and I were hunting with the 12-gauge Franchi I-12 and Stephen McKelvain, Benelli VP, along with Calli Morris of Hazel Creek Taxidermy were hunting with M-2 Benelli in 20-gauge. Also, Stephen and Calli were using the new 20-gauge Federal 3-inch Heavyweight Turkey Load featuring 1 1/2-ounce of high density #7 shot held in place with the new Flitecontrol wad.

Adventures in the Black Belt or Antler Belt Region of Alabama

Learning about our newest Alabama Outfitter partner, Leavellwood, has rekindled great experiences from my youth.

As a young boy growing up in Alabama hunting, fishing and enjoying the outdoors, my father made sure we touched ground in every region of the state. He was an outdoorsman, not a great outdoorsman, but a great educator, and he made sure I was taught or subjected to the vast natural resources the fair state of Alabama offers.

Haint Gobble Call Rocks The World
By Sam Hall

Wilderness, USA: Today at Heritage Quest wilderness camp, GO Youth councilor, Hunter Worth, pointed to the final resting place of ol' Joe the turkey hunter as the source of quakes felt across the region. Per Hunter, we were up Cemetery Hill overlooking HQ headquarters just admiring the run of gobbles that rolled up the hill from the training center below. We knew Eddie Salter and Jim Martin of GO Game Calls were dueling to perfection on two of the "Haint" gobble calls from Down N Dirty Outdoors.
