Noel Gonzales
Yes!  Met him at a calling contest in Bass Pro.  He was complimentary of my calling and had some beautiful boxes for sale.  We talked a while but I had no idea who he was.  I was new to turkey hunting and he seemed very knowledgeable.  Super nice guy and his work was outstanding.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Quote from: Greg Massey on February 17, 2026, 07:45:09 PM3 Items..  One was a Browning Stalker Synthetic stock 10 gauge... The Reason I sold the gun, it was like carrying a ball and chain while spring turkey hunting... LOL.

I wished now that I had kept it... It really was a nice shotgun...

I do still have some of the old Federal 4 / 6 that look at from time to time to remind me of my love hate relationship with that mule kicker / heavy weight shotgun...

The other gun I regarded selling was a Mossberg 835 - 3 1/2 inch short barrel gun... I had a love hate relationship with it also, it was a mule kicker also... I do have some of the old Federal 3 1/2 inch shells left from that gun... lol

The last one was the first real turkey vest I bought, it was a Lynch and I sold it to a guy for 20 dollars, NOW I really do wish I had it back.. It was a shoulder strap type vest with 2 box call pockets ...
Man I thought I was the only one crazy enough to shoot a mossy 835 with 3 1/2" Federals. Still have mine and it used to beat me up pretty bad at times. Now I'm shooting a Mossberg 20ga. and loving it. I think about using the 12 then I ask myself why. Still have that Lynch vest which was my first. It's a little beat up but it serves as my scouting vest sometimes.

I still have a Mossberg 3.5" 12 gauge.  I used to think it was the years of playing baseball & tennis that messed up my shoulder, but every spring I'm reminded "nope, it's this brute of a gun."  But that pain never feels better than it does each spring!
I've given away an HS Strut Wood Witch and Cody Woodsman and several other pot calls to kids/friends getting into turkey hunting.  At the time, they weren't worth NEAR what they are now.  Still wouldn't change a thing.  Passing it on...

Bob Dixon best I sold for 85.00. I bought 4 at a sporting goods store at the end of the season on a sale rack. I gave one to my brother, kept 2, and sold 1 to a friend for what I paid.

I did not even realize what I was buying I house thought it was an awesome vest. Still is my favorite vest of all time.
