Some of my belt buckles, the ones related to turkey hunting anyway. I have to get the Miriam's, Gould's and Osceola buckles to finish off the North American species, I am not sure if there is a buckle for the Ocellated turkey or not. I have to get Summer and Winter to finish off the other series of buckles. I will not wear the Rio buckle unless I get one when I go to OK next Spring. I am not going to be able to add any more for a couple of months, have some things I have to get taken care of before I put a vehicle on the road in time for turkey season in May.

I also got in these two strikers from Jeff (JLH) today One is Spalted Maple Hickory and the second is his Frogwood. I have to thank him for taking the time to make these a little wider for me than he normally does, with my hands skinnier strikers can often make my hand hurt quite a bit because of the car accident I had in 88. Both strikers play very well but I have to say that the Frogwood really has a lot of bite to it when it is playing on the surface and makes it very easy to get sound from it without much if any work at all.

Oh I got a new shirt in too, my GF is not very good with either of my cameras, this is what the front looks like though.

Those are neat. I never knew they even existed.

Thanks, I have been trying to get them when I can, there is a matched set with matching numbers of the seasons ones on ebay right now but I just can't justify $180.00 + for belt buckles. Here is the link if anybody is interested. https://www.ebay.com/itm/National-Wild-Turkey-Federation-Limited-Edition-Four-Season-Collectors-Buckles/402061822656

Thanks. I just got the Eastern, Fall and 20th anniversary ones in the mail yesterday. I went and looked and could not find another Eastern for you online. There is a Summer online but it is much more than I want to spend. It is also in better shape than mine are from a collectors standpoint and comes with the original clothe pouch they came in. There is also a full set of seasons they are asking a $180 opening bid on and all the numbers match on that set which makes them very collectable as matching/sequential numbers are very desirable in the collecting world.

I added these two to the collection this week. I only need Summer now to finish off that set. Found out yesterday that they did indeed to one for the Ocellated turkey, that means I need that one, Gould's and Osceola to finish that set.

The Ocellated is not a turkey.  Just a gimmick bird to get your money.
