Title: Gooserbat Calls Rainy Day Giveaway. We have a winner
Post by: Gooserbat on February 20, 2018, 10:31:54 PM
 :z-winnersmiley:

#51. Congratulations Hoot...


It's rained all day and supposed to continue through the week.  So my question is what's a good rainy day  pre-season turkey activity?    Loading tss, practicing calls, cleaning your gun, sorting out your gear, or whatever.  Post up in one sentence.

I'll run a number generator sometime Friday night and the corosponding post number will receive a two pack of diaphragms.  Let's give away a Double Bit and a Heckler.

Best of luck.

Just got my Halloran laminate green slate in the mail and the wife is out of town for two weeks so testing out the new call on a nightly basis is the slam dunk answer to this one.  Not sure my upstairs neighbors are real thrilled but I usually stop practicing by 8:00 so what do they have to complain about right?

I get on OG to try to keep everybody in line, and hope it is raining in Oklahoma so that Sam is bored and will decide to give some more stuff away and that I will choose the right time to put my name in the drawing and I will win and Sam will send me the calls and I will snicker at all the rest of the guys on OG because I am the winner and they are not and I can say,  "Lalalahlalahlaaahhh, I won some Gooserbat calls and you guys didn't" and then I am going to make a sound file on how good the calls sound and post it on OG so I can rub it in even more,...and then I'm gonna go take a nap.  ;D
