Title: Indiana with my 84 year old mom
Post by: jryser on April 24, 2019, 10:29:30 PM
Mom was with me today; I was filming her hunt. We left the blind to do a little run and gun; we got on one - she did not have a shot but I did - she slid the gun back and said SHOOT HIM!  This is OUR 27 pound LONGBIRD!!!

Cool.  I enjoy his video's and was looking at his wing bone call he sells.  Is this the first wing bone you have used?  Are they easy to learn?  He sure makes his sound good.  Congrats again and thanks for sharing.

I actually made one of my own and have been using it for many years. I just really like cat man and wanted to have a call of his for a back up.  I'll be using it in Kentucky next week.  They take some practice but once you get rolling on it you can sound every bit as good as anybody who blows em!

That's a very memorable hunt! Not only a huge gobbler but having a mom who hunts at that age is very impressive. Congratulations on the huge gobbler and the time well spent.
