I have used scotch brite to lightly scuff them before and then wipe the paddle with a clean paper towel.

I would highly recommend this method over using any chemical on your lid.

Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: Shoot Your Gun!

Last post by Turkeybutt - Today at 06:13:21 AM

I find most people are lazy and don't want to put in the time or the work. I must say that may have been the case with me 50 years ago when I first started out. On second thought maybe it wasn't that I was lazy and more I just didn't know any better. Back than you didn't have all the avenues of information and if you didn't know a turkey hunter you were on your own.
Oh, I thought I was ready, I had my Ben Lee lead frame diaphragm calls, an old slate call I made from a shingle and a coffee can lid and a Marlin Mod 55, 12 gauge bolt action shotgun and off I went.
I didn't harvest a bird the first 2 or 3 years but I did see a lot of turkey butts as they departed my area, hence the name Turkeybutt! An old-time turkey hunter took me under his wing and taught me a lot which I'll never forget him or the things he passed along to me.
Here are some examples of people being lazy or unprepared that I encountered.
 
A friend of mine who owns a gun shop tells me he has 2 or 3 guys who come in and buy a used deer rifle 2 or 3 days before the season. Hunt with it and right after deer season these guys take those guns back to the gun shop to sell.
I've seen people buy a new compound bow the day/night before archery season to go hunting the next day.
I know a guy who took his compound bow to the shop to get checked out on Wednesday. Upon opening the bow case they found the bow with a broken string.  Further inspection revealed he also had a cracked limb. They told the guy they had to order new limbs which would take a week or two to get. This guy was ticked off that his bow wouldn't be repaired that day because, " I'm leaving this Saturday to go on a elk hunt". 
Like you all stated, with a little planning and preparation maybe these guys might have been successful or at least better prepared!
