Here's a good program, 7 minutes, that doesn't require equipment other than a chair and a wall.

I thought everyone knew that a turkey can't be killed with a .410.

Were you self-guided? Sounds like a barnburner on the mallards on that one hunt. Gil

Thief is wearing night vision goggles!

Best price I've seen. Does this signal a newer version?

That's the way to do it! Good job.

That's the season. I remember the bird standing in the middle of the dirt road 20 yards in front, nothing between the bird and his gun and he couldn't see it. I don't know many other granddads who wouldn't shoot, but you never shot any of the birds you called up for him. You heap better man than me,...

Dale, I was hoping you'd talk about the season with your grandson. That would get the heat off me. Gil

Seems like yesterday he lost his little dog. Sorry to hear about his dad passing. It's tough thing. On our minds and in hearts and prayers....Gil

"Killer" is the only name I recall.

Dale, you talking about the time you drove up to my my truck, listening to the bird and “pow”. The next thing you saw was me with a turkey and gun slung on my back and me pedaling my Schwinn down the woods road back to the truck, grinning, or the time Helton was in Cainey Bay under a bird in the tre...

Tommy, I also don't mind shooting a gauge that is evenly divisible by 10. I stopped shooting a 10 as my regular gun when I discovered I could miss just as many with a 12 and not have to carry as much weight. Gil

Really? You must be kidding me. Never heard of such a thing.

TB, how about the time you were taking a daily devotional near a game trail on the Canoochee when what you thought was a 'coon walking the path turned out to be a nice gator....That pretty much ended quiet time. Gil

TB, the Zoo bird was about 10-15 yards out when I missed. He had left me and come back and stood flat-footed in the two path road between the hardwoods and planted pines. Neither he nor I could believe I missed. When I shot, he was as still as the bronze CSA soldier standing on the granite pedestal ...

Yeah. Wait'll they figure out that the pellets kill birds and Bambi.

Whether I ever hunt it again had nothing to do with wanting it back. I just missed having the gun. The gun I'll be carrying opening morning will be my little Yildiz single shot .410 which weighs about a 1/3rd of what this brute weighs. I'll have some work done on the NID. I'll have the wood stabiliz...

Tommy, back in the late '70s early '80s, I had a Spanish 3.5" SxS 10", this Ithaca and a Mag 10. The 10 was the rage back with Kirby and Lee leading the pack with their Mag 10s. I can still see a photo of Ben Lee with his slung mag 10. The gun looked big even on him. I'll have to weigh the...

Ever have a gun you sold and you later regretted doing so? Here’s mine. Today I got it back after selling it 20 years or more ago to a buddy. I traded him out of it after years of semi-begging for it. I bought the gun over 30 years ago from Thad Scott, a recently deceased gun dealer from Indianola, ...

Like a "dealer" giving a free "rock" to a crack addict....

Hal, probably won't use the Yildiz, might try the 220B .410, but have been thinking of the 28 CZ or Ithaca M37. Would have to order components, however. Gil

We've got a wood duck hole full of birds. Can't wait until Nov. 17th.

Hal, your old Woodcock has been a great general purpose gun for you. Once your eyeballs get a little age on them, will be curious how it works out on the tight turkey patterns and no sights or red dot. Gil

no better eating....

If it were me, I would send it off to have it fixed by a specialist who could also glass bed it. Here's a real pro who won't charge an arm and a leg:
