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!!

I have searched for that same seat for several years. If anyone finds an extra PM me! Those extending adjustable legs are great for these WV hills.

Great hunt! Love hunting those Merriams and that wild country!

A beautiful and rare bird! Congrats!!!

I have two 20 ga guns with 18.5" barrels. An HR single shot and PA 459 tactical. Both set up to turkey hunt. The HR is set up with a pure gold .570 and shooting HW #7 because it shoots them really well and I have alot of them. PA 459 is shooting a carlson in .555 or .565 (have both) and TSS #9....

If he acts like a big bird ….. he dies like a big bird. Really, with a full fan and decent beard how can you tell otherwise. Spurs are the true indication of age but with most you don't know for sure till you roll them over! I would be glad to have him!
