Thanks for the compliment Jesse. Hope to see your dead bird pics with it come next season. Best of luck

That'll be a neat thing to do. My money's on you that you'll do it too. Just wish I could go wid ya. Better hurry on the short bill, ain't got but one left and since they didn't sell like I'd hoped, I doubt I'll be doing more. Ya need to buy one of these pretty little purrin' calls for that fine lady you're datin', then she could purr you to sleep whilst in the blind and get a chance at a gobbler whilst you sleep

I wore suspenders (pretty much a necessity wid my belly ) that is up til it got hot ( They close off the vents on my shirt ) Anyhoo, been thinkin' they'd be a perfect little slate call for our young pups. Gonna make another with my "BLACK HILLS GOLD" flying turkey medallion. Grandpa's can tell a tale or two and let the youngun' think they got a "POT O GOLD"

Finally got off my arse and went and tore up some wood with an idear I've had for a long while. It's a little 2.5 inch slate over cyrstal call. Not sure 'bout everyone else but when it comes a hot afternoon hunt, the last thing I want to tote around is my vest full of calls. On those days, it's a slate call and maybe a box call hooked on my belt in some of those nice slate call holders and box call holsters. See right thar is the problem.......the belt. See much as I lay 'round on my arse I musta dun went and wore it plumb off cuz when I go to hookin' stuff on my belt......well seems my drawers start slidin' off my arse. That don't work too well trampsin' after three toed turkeebirds. So I had this idear to make a No-Track Player using only my medallion in a little 2 inch call. Perfect for the t-shirt pocket or even your pants pocket. This what I came up with for the first one, well the second one. I first tried it in ancient wormy chestnut my father used to build his kitchen cabinets out of way back when. That stuff sure is soft. Pretty much sanded a perfectly pretty call right to dust. So Cocobolo was my next try and it came out right smart. Hope ya'll like it. Sounds good for such a small pot. Thanks for lookin'

Now that's up CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

Ats my man! You the best out there my friend. Congrats.

I need to rub yer head for luck!

I got one like that a couple years ago. Named him "Tommy Slick No Guns" Congrats

Congrats on a fine season.

85%, difference of opinion on two: the number of eggs a hen lays. I've seen them with 15 eggs, but I guess 10-12 is a better average. Missed the one about the least best way to get a tom with hens. Me, I'd stalk the whole group rather than scatter them hither and yon.

Congrats Rhino. All a matter of time........

Killers!

Good luck Rhino, ol' palomine!

I've shot most of my birds with one. Bought it the year they came out with it, 87, if I remember correctly, mighta been 89 to think of it. Never had a problem. Use a Rhino choke, 720 I believe. Nitro shells. It's a heavy bugger. 800.00 for a used one would be a bargain. Don't expect to kill 'em any further out than a choked 3.5 inch 12 though. Do expect less of a kick though. But you pay for the lesser recoil with an extra few pounds of weight. Way I look at it, it's my yearly exercise regiment, totin' that sucker hither and yon.

I've heard you should rough it up with a thumb size piece of sheetrock sand paper, going in one direction only. Then sand with normal sand paper in one direction only.

For a fact, dem turkeebirds never had a chance. Congrats

Congrats bud but it's a bit too close to turkey season ain't it........ Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

Older I get, the more I lay 'round seems like. Well, I been tryin' to get in the turkey chasin' mood so I made some calls. Even entered the first one in the Southeastern Open Hunting Call Competition. First time I've tried competin' against anything other than ol' three toes. To my surprise, I took home a third place ribbon. Pretty proud. Home ya'll like and good luck to everyone chasin' those wiley wild turkeebirds. Redbeard. Southeastern Open Third Place.

Good luck bud. Stay away from dem panthers

Look on ebay for a Lohman all wooden crow call. Great tone and can get loud!

My vest is usually packed at the start of the season but empties as it goes. Never carry blind material or decoys. Just like to sit up against a big ol' oak and call.

Thanks for the welcome back fellas.......been a tired ol' man over the winter, time to whip it up and get ready to do the dead bird rodeo, Good Lord willin'..... Good luck to everyone this season.
