STRAIGHT SHOOTERS
More hunters are turning to the oldest metallic cartridge design for deer and other game THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST and other parts of the country, deer hunters are swapping their slug guns and muzzleloaders for rifles chambered in straight-wall cartridges thanks to changes in legislation that make these rounds legal to use. Larger pistol calibers such as the .454 Casull, .460 S&W Magnum, .480 Ruger, and .500 S&W Magnum offer a straightwall profile with more punch and a flatter trajectory than the .44 Magnum (some border .45/70 Gov't ballistics) and are an ideal choice for deer-size game at moderate ranges. [...]ammunition is affordable, costing as little as $15 a box.

CORNHUSKER TURKEY TOUR
In the southeastern portion of the state, the remaining Rio Grande birds from the 1961-62 release colonized suitable habitat, and the release of Eastern wild turkeys in the extreme southeastern corner of the state further tangled the branches of Nebraska's wild-turkey family tree.

CENTURIES OF STRUTTING A Nebraska turkey timeline 1804 Lewis and Clark report seeing wild turkeys in what is present-day Nebraska. 1915 Wild turkeys are considered all but extinct in the Cornhusker State. 1937 The PittmanRobertson Act provides much-needed funding for wildliferestoration work. 1945 World War II ends, and serious wild-turkeyrestoration efforts soon begin across the United States. 1951 Cannon nets allow for highly effective trap and transfer of wild-turkey flocks. 1959 Twenty-eight Merriam's turkeys are released at Pine Ridge.

Altering POI Some new shotguns come with shims that can change POI, or you might have a target model that has an adjustable comb or rib that allows you to transfer your point of impact.

SHOOT FASTER, SHOOT BETTER
If you want to hit those birds, you have a need for speed, and these five tips will help you shoot faster without sacrificing accuracy. 1 Practice Your Gun Mount in the Field Before the dogs fall on point for the first time, take a moment to mount your (empty) shotgun and track the bead along the tops of nearby trees. Shooting in a heavy coat and gloves with an e-collar remote strapped to your chest can lead to hang-ups, so be sure the recoil pad has a clear path to your shoulder. 2 Start the Swing as the Gun Comes Up A proper swing originates at the hips. [...]keep the recoil pad directly below your shoulder and position your free hand on the forend so that it can instantly guide the muzzle toward a rising bird. [...]if you clamp down on your shotgun with vise-like authority, your track to the target will look like a radio wave.
