Oh, so now you are going to tease us by suggesting that one of US might get to buy her if you don't get along!

Storm, I have always heard that "It's the prettiest girls that's the hardest to please", if that should hold true then I would suspect this pretty girl is going to drive him completely nuts!

Patience grasshopper, patience.
We may still have a chance, plus we may not have to ride that dadburn Mule to the hangin!

Russ,
This man is a hardcase.  Just plain mean!  Have you noticed that he hasn't even told us any vital statistics yet?  Wants to dribble that information out a little at a time too.

Well, I went ahead and bought the thing, even though I didn't get a gobbler in close enough to try it out. She's a 37" long 12 bore, and ridjrunr couldn't tell me who built it. The lock is marked Lott, & Dan said it was marketed by Pedersoli a few years back. The half-cock notch does not work as a half-cock safety, which I hope to get worked on. Am trying to decide whether to send the barrel off to get jug-choked or not...

Dan said it don't shoot balls for beans, but I hope to try it at some point anyway....

:hairy

I been busy tryin ta connect with a gobbler. I have never hunted this late in the season. I called in hens left & right, but the toms stood out in the middle of the fields and gobbled. They nailed me from a 1/4 mile out.....

Wishing you the best of luck next season!  Turkeys are smart and have incredible vision.  There's an old saying that goes "Deer think every hunter is a tree.  Turkey think every tree is a hunter."  That has proven to be true in my experience.
