I saved the head from the double beard I killed this season and made a mold from it and then cast it and hand painted it . I used the mold to cast 4 heads to use on my future cape mounts and fan plaques.This is one I used on one of my fan plaques. I am going to use one with a cape mount I done with the wings. If it turns out good I'll post of pic of it too. Thought it was a pretty neat idea,and.... Read More
Here is a picture of my son and daughter with the custom turkey call that they won from Spursuader. They are both really excited to try it out next year on our next turkey hunt. I didn't tell them that I posted their story on here so they had no idea about the contest.
Thanks very much to Mr. Murphey for making these beautiful calls and giving them away in a contest.
Made another Wing-Bone Call Holder from a Box Turtle Shell to add to my Redneck Decor. I have made several of these when I find a decent Turtle shell in the Timber. The Black you see at the Top there is actually blood stain from where a pellet hit lol...I gotta start shooting better lol.
My Turkey Beard Collection was getting 'Bunched up' on a Single shelf so I stopped and got a Few Boards from a Old Wood shed that had fell that was well over 100 Years old the property owner told me and made me a simple Double Shelf and made it Big enough so If I ever get Lucky and kill another Gobbler I can add a beard in between each of these and Bunch them up again lol, I also cooked the....

maybe a 4 or 5 inch beard, around 1 inch spurs. A deep, full roll gobble and a full tail fan. in range for 6 minutes, and maybe 8 yards at one point. would you have taken him? keep in mind its about midway through the season, with only one tag left.
Yasterday afternoon, a freind ( who has been hunting longer than I have been alive) stopped by the house for other reasons, but we ended up talking about my turkey.
He looked at it, messed with it and determined it was indeed a jake>
Said the hair/ feathers on the neck was one indicator. It didn't go high enough to the crown like a hens would.
He pointed out where spurs were about.... Read More

Now its time to do some long overdue fishing with my fishing buddies
took this fine longbeard around 10;30 on monday morning. he was scratching around in a planted corn field with a jake. I crawled into position about 5-10 yards from the field edge, set up camera tripod and made a few soft yelps. he gobbled and slowly began feeding my way. 15 minutes later their right on the field edge in front of me. the Jake even hops the ditch and comes over looking for me.....

So, on the last day of turkey season, I finally get my first turkey!
Been so close so many times. Shot at one who did a back flip and flew away over my head into the trees, should have taken a shot at two others on two different occasions, but didn't.
Spent time in the wind and rain getting wet and cold, but never got it done.
And during the times that my nephew would go with.... Read More
