 Very nice Chester, hope you stir em up. I called Ralph last week and I am going to try a Jordan Yelper out he seems like a real nice guy. I am just hoping the Trumpet bug doesn't hit me like pot call, scratch box, and box call bug did, otherwise I might be broke by the end of the year  :turkey2:

There's two callmakers I collect and Ralph's one of them. I've got a real specific vision of what I want my collection to be from him so that means I have to wait out the list and get a call a year, two every year and a half if I'm lucky. This was my latest one.

Very cool. I gotta get my long dead grand dad's Fox double from my cousin that took it's fair share of gobblers many moons ago in eastern NC.

I keep saying I'm gonna do it. Thanks for the inspiration

Meleagris gallopavo

I think it is appropriate to honor the opening day of turkey season as a special, significant event.  To me turkey hunting is about the purest form of hunting there is nowadays.

I live and hunt by empirical evidence.

That'd be a fun hunt. Other year my buddy took an old J. Stevens double barrel that had belonged to the Plott family—the legendary western North Carolina family responsible for the Plott hound, our state dog—and he decided he was going to use paper shells. Found him some and killed a good gobbler with it. Those types of hunts are just fun. Post a picture when you kill one with it.

Very nice Chester, looking forward to playing with the Jordan and hoping maybe next year I can confidently carry one in the woods.

Got to the range today to check some new loads. Anyone who's ever asked advice for a stock Model 12 has heard me testify to what TSS does for those guns. Found some 2-3/4" Foxtrot Hot Rods to shoot through this 20ga. All Brice had was #8.5s. I figured it for a max 35yd gun so that's what I shot at off handed. I think I underestimated what this little 25" fixed full is capable of with that load. That's absolute poison.

I have a Model 12 20ga with modified choke and another 16ga full. Might have to come up with some 2 3/4 loads to try out on the 20 as well then maybe I can get my hands on some components for the 16 next year.

Can't wait to see some pics from you this season.

I think there's about a zero percent chance of that not occurring!  :cowboy:
