55 on the fly

What a day! I took this big male coyote at 7:30 ..... and this fine buck in the afternoon...

Hi folks - turned this turpin style trumpet today. Ebony horn with an ivory spacer, copper ferrule and Delrin mouth piece. thanks for checking it out, Doug.

I made this call today..... Osage with stacked leather mid section and a Delrin mouth piece... thanks Doug.

Well folks it's turkey season and I love to be out there hunting the big birds this time of year.  This spring the hunting has been tough with all the rain and such.  Maybe I'm getting old but I hate hunting in the rain... Anyway, I got out to hunt yesterday with my good friend Clint and we had a great morning.  Clint had these birds figured out and he put this "Super Jake" right in my lap for an easy shot.  The gobbler had a 7 inch beard, 1/2 inch spurs and weighed 17 pounds. Lot's of good eating and fly tying materials, collected the old fashion way...
