i have to say WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TURKEY HUNTING............it's the "new" duck hunting.

i need a draw system to combat allll the merriad of public land issues........i need a "boone and crocket" system of some sorts (that folks agree on).......surely, i can get me a damned spinner tom w/ a cool name like "turbo tom", "tom's tool", orr, "every tom, dick and harry need one".................get DU on the phone, hell, get my congressman!!!! surely the MDWFP will notice the interests that's springing forth and do something to hinder interests..........

DAMMIT men, someone get me a song to listen to............oh wait

Gator, you in the brown water early this morning?

I think its just been a while since he has pulled the trigger and watched some feathers fly!

it won't be long.

By the way, did you ever find some tupelo wood?

[quackheadbp]

Let it begin! Let It begin!!!

[gator]

jdb, i haven't actually......i've scoured the net b/c it's getting rather imperative i find some quick that DRY (project i've got in the works).

i do have a number for an old man in louisiana, but he's 3.5 hrs away and i'm not sure whether he ships or not......and, i'm a little leary about buying wood site unseen.

anyhow, i'll come across some at some point, justin

What you saying only a topwater would try this?

U think it will work, once I lay down some detail, I can't imagine it looking worse than a feather flex

What you saying only a topwater would try this?

HELL NO BROHAMMY!!! ain't a topwater or bug scratcher gonna take the time or effort......looks good.

i'll even let you use it when i kill a bird w/ you this year...........i mean, when we hunt together this year of course.

p.s. that your pattern??? looks good

p.s.s. that BETTER NOT BE MY DAMNED TUPELO

[kris Schaumburg]

dude, that is a $5.44 pine 1x12, and I freehanded the pattern in 5 minutes, amazing what I can get done when the wife is working late. I was upset cause after working up the pattern the $3 1x12 would definitely have been big enough. Maybe you should be carving HD 2x12's like John Lawrence does? If all goes to plan this thing will have half a grand slam under its belt this year. I finished it last night, if wife gets pictures to me today, I'll post.

[gator]

thought about the 2x12's alah john, but i'd like to carve some good wood first. don't feel like better my brains in on that stuff yet......got someone from wendlewood over on the carvers station working w/ me.......i'm waiting on a price but it doesn't sound bad - white cedar.

gonna get about 40 bd/ft to start....i'll save ya some to see if you like it.....if so, we can order some larger orders and split.

just a thought.........post up the turkey.

[kris Schaumburg]

I am hoping she keeps that grass in the backyard down so that I don't have to mow it during turkey season

[gator]

i like her dude! good job!

just sent you an email......this pic is better, so you may want to disregard what i wrote about warming it up w/ some burnt umber dry brushed to the lighter areas.....my phone had them looking pretty white.....this looks like it's close to spot on, IMHO

nice bud, she'll hunt.
