Damn that good.

I have an Ugly Betty and a Whumper Stumper.

head down, just the way we have always done it. Seems like the guts fall easy with the head down.

Ive got a 30 foot cord, and most times I go up until its lifting the gun or bow off the ground...so Id say 35 to 37 feet.

Sometimes though....10 to 12 due to the canopy im hunting in

updated with new pics and sound file

My buddy ( Craig Scott, Mudpuppi Calls) was tinkering with a teal call. He brought over the proto type and I fell in love with it. I had a piece of cross cut coco with some spalted sap wood. I gave it to him to turn a teal call out of. Here is what he got done for me. http://i64.photobucket.com/albu...

What kind of climber did you get? Some have straps that go across the back of your ankles to make lifting the foot platform easier. Id suggest using them. Once again, make sure there is a strap connecting the foot climber with the main climber. As far as sweating. Carry a back back and leave extra c...

Hey MA, I have Williams number at Sum Toy if you want to call him and speak with him. Im running a sum toy in both my 20 ga guns. He builds a great choke.

His have a nice even spread and seem to be a little more open at closer ranges.

Looks good to me.

Ma, The Indian creek would cover an 8X11 piece of paper with the 6s at 55 yards.

Obviously in close its a super tight pattern....baseball size at less than 15 yards. softball size at 25 yards. Paper plate size at 40.

MA, i used to shoot the Winchester extended range 6s, but not out of a mossberg. I got the best pattern with them out of an Indian Creek 665 and then a Kicks 660.

I can count them on one hand

Ive got an old Grand Ol Man back when the original owners had them before selling out twice.

That baby is sweet. been the death of some deer over the years. Its so quiet I had one walk out one time, while I was climbing the tree.

They been laying down now since the 15th. Ill call all my buddies and see if I can get some good velvet buck pictures.

I make leather lanyards for trumpets and tube calls. I had some orders and had some new colors and new style beads I wanted to try. Some are made to order, others are just some color combos I want to try. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h173/dcrow77/P1010320.jpg Couple close ups. http://i64.photob...

I like to hear myself call! :D With that, I sometimes try to make things happen, instead of letting them happen. Mike X2, I do the same I also will not wait on a gobbler for long periods. I cant wait one out for more than an hour or so if they arent actively working. Id rather leave and try to get ...

Im a big fan of kicks, Indian creek and now sum toy. Back before all the new chokes companies. kicks has always out performed them with lead. Then for lead IC came along and for me was the only one that out shot kicks. Now in recent years Im shooting HTL. The two 20 ga sumtoys I own shoot great. In ...

I just sold a weaterby I bolt 3006 camo with rust preventer barrell on it that he bought last year, never shot. He bought the 2506 for himself and gave me the 3006 in the I bolt. I didnt need that big old cannon on this swamp deer. I love those 2506 and 6mm around here. He bought a SWEET thompson ri...

Ive also never understood the shorter barrell makes it more manueverable arguement. Ive been shooting em 20 years and never lost one because I couldnt get the gun on them. yeah i agree with maneuverability, but if you are hunting in THICK crap like we do down here in Florida, that shorter barrel ge...

savduck...i see the savage arms box...what did you get??? I love savage arms rifles! Well, I ended up with 2. My dad is retired with nothing to do with is money. No Bills, 100% disability military benefits. He ended up finding them on ebay from a dealer in Ohio. He rolled in with a 243, 308, and 25...

Dang. Nice gobblers.

Dude that thing is SICK. Great job. Lucky guy. Fellas Ricky makes a call that sounds as good as it looks. Video clip of a bloodwood and copper he made me a few weeks back. I havent run to many copper calls, took me a few strokes to get the feel for it. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h173/dcrow77/...

Nothing better....YUM
