New guy here - turkey questions

2Barrel · Feb 9, 2008

Hi all. New to the forum and new to turkey hunting. I have a couple of questions I hope some of you can answer.
#1.What do you guys prefer to shoot. Ported or non ported chokes and why you like shooting them.

#2 How the heck do I keep my mouth call reeds from sticking? When Im done using them I rinse them off with cool water and use tooth picks to seperate the reeds but it seems like as soon as I take the tooth picks out the reeds still stick [wallmad] I have seen a product out called Diaphresh. It is supposed to eliminate these problems. Has anybody seen or used this product or do you think its just another B.S. gimmick.

Welcome aboard
I believe Diaphresh is nothing more then diluted mouthwash...I could be wrong, but I'm sure it would do the same.

The tissue paper (like in a gift box) over a plastic sheet. The plastic I use is laminate. The tissue slips in w/o digging the latex. But I get the mouth calls by the hand full & go through them hunting everyday of the season.

Welcome.The choke I like best is ported.Kick's Gobblin' Thunder.I like it b/c it shoots an awesome pattern. [up]

If you still have your hearing, go with the non-ported choke. Plus, I don't think you get much recoil reduction with ports on a screw in choke for all the extra sound and blast in your face.

ditto

I use my mouth calls from year to year and I find that keeping them in the fridge on the off season keeps them fairly fresh. I do find that they stick together but after a minute in my mouth they break apart.
