End-of-Season Turkey Gear Roundup

Another spring turkey season has come and gone, and hunters throughout the country are winding down and anxiously waiting for fall. The summer is a great time to evaluate your gear, though, and determine what you need before you next venture into the woods. Here are a few products that our E-Media editors put to use this spring—and that you may want to consider adding to your collection before next season, if you haven't already.

Stuff You Want: Eye Shields

For protection from the sun, flying shards or the penetrating gazes of your poker buddies, wear eye protection. Just don’t think your kid will suddenly think you’re cool.

Federal Trophy Copper Slug

The Trophy Copper slug's plastic sabot features an aluminum plate at its base that helps it engage the rifling, promoting accuracy.

Can a Cell Phone Replace a GPS?

The GPS forever changed the way many hunters operated in the field, and handheld versions of the technology earned what seemed like a permanent place in most gear bags. Now, though, Smartphones are beginning to challenge even the finest GPS units.

Brunton Eterna 3X-9X-40mm

The Brunton company first became known for its sophisticated "Pocket Transit" compass, but has branched out into a number of other directions—including the riflescope business.

CCI Quiet-22

CCI's new Quiet-22 is supposed to produce 75 percent less noise than standard velocity .22 LR cartridges. Bryce Towsley put that claim to the test.

may 5, 2013 200yds. is nothing for a 62gr h.p. it will do the job on any white tail if you can put the bullet in the vitals. but try the 75gr hp in a bolt action an you can take one at 300 plus yds. but remember practice makes perfect an hp placed right does the rest. good hunting to many people thinks it takes a big rifle it's the shooter not the big bullet .

Comments...In the early 80's I took a nice 6 point in the Black Hills with a 222 Rem model 7. Neck shot puts them down every time.
