Dymond wood absolutely. I have heard Thin win is very similar (maybe the the same) and is also very very good. Nothing at all wrong with snake tho!

On any given day any call might work. Most of us know that. Trumpets work! Trumpets do seem to carry sound along way off. So do wingbones IMO. I often carry both. I just like using them. Work in the rain. Hangs around my neck real handy like. Alot of benefits. I will never be as good as Prudhomme or...

Cant really add to the conversation other than to 2nd / 3rd the comments of Deet ruining finishes on things. Including custom turkey calls. However you decide to get a Thermocell, do yourself a big favor and GET ONE. They WORK and if you are near water and no wind the skeeters are a thing you don't ...

Kind words Guesswho and thank you! I've got lucky a few times and made something worth having. I am gonna ramble abit (apology upfront) but I feel Dustyroads pain. How do I get ONE GOOD ONE thats worthy of vest time without buying 20 to get it??? No sales pitch here, just some words from a longtime ...

I had the 11-87 Super Mag as shown by the OP and hunted it hard for years. Using Hevi 6's and Remington Hevi 6's to start. Moved to Hevi 7 and Fed HW 7. Then to TSS #9. It never failed to kill or work. It was a reliable, HEAVY duty workhorse. But I never bonded with the gun or the funky, right hand ...

Stay away from WV! There are no birds here.... I mean there.

Well done sir! Truly blessed!

What Joey said. Call the airlines you be flying on and get their guidelines in advance. In writing if possible. Its always the little things. Some airlines require ammo to be IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX, stuff like that if your into TSS. Get there plenty early to get thru the check procedures. Use your gun ...

What ever the brand look for 1hp or about 13 amps. That will tear thru the tuffer cuts. 1 or 2 deer a year speed should not be a problem. I have used several over the years and all did well as long as the motor was strong enuff. Look for one that grinder portion detaches for easy cleanup. Try to get...

BarBQ chips work well for the coating. I have used it on fish and turkey. We have a brand here called UTZ. They make some killer honey BarBQ chips. My favorite for coating.

And what does he do when he hears "TWEET TWEET!" (a few of use showing our age here....)

Showing unusual patience is a winning predatory trait. Plus waiting till they are really REALLY close is another predator trick. Waste no energy!

63 - firedup
works for me and I think its still in play. LOL! Wouldn't touch Guesswho's 66 for no amount of $$

I used one on an 835 for a long time. Always held up and did well. No issues with recoil. In fact, its still on the gun in working condition, I just retired the whole rig. I went to a reflex (FF3, Venom) type simply for a greater field of view. They do make a great pistol site as well.

Be an interesting call to add to a collection as an interesting oddity. 20 years from now might have something. Without some gauged stops or pre sets it seems to challenge the idea of a call thats hand tuned to the "sweet spot".

Would something like this work?

Have a bunch of knives. Alot of them handmade and used for special purposes. But for overall utility I am another Mora fan. Just cant beat em.

I bought the Tristar upland hunter O/U. Looked at the meadow creek mounts but decided to just drill and tap THE VENT RIB. Of course no receiver on an O/U. Either is easy to do and works great for red dot type sights.

Beautiful birds! We have a few around. I took this pic using my cell phone held against a pair of Vortex binocs. Got lucky! I have tried several attempts since but not anywhere close to this result.

I have tried several grill baskets for fish and some veggies over the years and never found one that worked just the way I wanted it to. Closes thing I've found these days are the grill mats. Keep everything from falling thru and reasonably intact. And allow for flipping as well. That or just plop t...

Thanks all! I should have said a Vent rib mount on a break down O/U. So receiver is out. Just picked up a Tristar O/U in 20ga today. I will check Sumtoy and Meadow creek out!

Wchadw .... love that camo dip! SWEET

My old eyes need a red dot type sight these days. How are you guys mounting them on the vent rib type guns like Tristar, ect.

So sad that a good one is lost. LEO"s put there life on the line for the rest of us everyday. Guaranteed you won't see this on the BIG NEWS.

WOW! You went all out! WELL DONE! And the results of your efforts are very, VERY CLEAR!
(I set up the same PA 459 last year and really like it! Wish I had your paint skill!)

What a hunt! Congrats to you both!!
