Sunrise in East Tennessee

[Reggie Bishop]

The river bottom farmland in Eastern Tennessee was showing its splendor this morning. The mountain in the background is in the Cherokee National Forest. The Ocoee River flows at the back border of this alfalfa field. The “Big Twenty”, 7 lbs 8 ounces, and I were out before daybreak. The only thing missing was the turkeys. We will try another farm soon.

[Garry L Gordon]

Nice just to sit and take it all in, eh, Reggie?

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Still have 3 weeks to wait here in Ohio. Can you tell us more about the " Big Twenty", dont know if I've seen that one before.
I have a PH 20, Parker steel 28" F/F that I need to carry in the turkey woods this spring. Due to drop in the turkey population here, we can only take 1 bird this year.

[Reggie Bishop]

Harold it is a one frame VHE 20 with 32” barrels. Straight stock w/splinter, Monte Carlo, single trigger. 2 7/8” chambers. 1925 gun that has been used considerably but is tight as can be! I have guns with much more condition but this gun has a soul! I also love the 15” LOP. Matches the letter to “T”.

Cute that people in the east think they have mountains!!

That is quite a 20. Never run into one like that.

I think today and Sunday are youth Turkey days in Virginia . A friend asked me this afternoon if he could bring his son out to my place and try for a gobble bird .

Mills and I went this morning and didn't hear anything. Still a good morning to be out

[Randy G Roberts]

Beautiful backdrop to call one in for sure. I've got some Eastern timber you're welcome to but we're gonna need to shorten them barrels. Haven't you heard, long barrels are no longer desirable to the buying public :) Nice configuration of a Parker, I know lot's of folks that would like to have one, myself included.

[David Noble]

Those barrels are so long you couldn’t get them all in the picture!
What a wonderful gun.

that's some fine view no wonder you could not find a turkey....that's the best looking sunrise I ve ever seen....charlie

[Stephen Hodges]

Beautiful Turkey country:) We have to wait until May 1 to start chasing them.

[Mills Morrison]

Mills and I went Wednesday and Saturday. No luck but beautiful mornings

[Mills Morrison]

Above is Saturday. Here is Wednesday

Early Spring is such a wonderful time of year to be afield, before the summer heat.

[Mills Morrison]

Summer heat is no fun around here. Boating is the only bearable outdoor activity then

[Garry L Gordon]

I'm guessing that God made Spring and Fall so nice (and short) to keep us hopeful through Summer and Winter.

[charlie cleveland]

great looking turkey ground hope young harry gets a shot at one before long....charlie

[Jim McKee]

Mills,
Always a good day to hunt with a family member
Enjoy!
Jim

[Mills Morrison]

Mills and my brother chickened out. So Harry and I went and had two real interested but they would not come in. Next weekend . . . .

I’ve probably driven by your place umpteen times headed to the Nantahala on 64.
