Default And so it begins....

Another Grand Spring Hunt has started off with a bang! Son Tim and I weathered very warm Florida heat to kill a couple dandy Osceola longbeards. Light calling on our custom Oesterle box calls lured the quiet toms into range. Half strut jake decoys enflamed the gobblers into picking a fight, much to their demise. Had delicious wild turkey ala king over jasmine rice tonight.

Wow, it still seems very early here, but you got my juices flowing with those photos. Thanks...I needed it. Congratulations.

(I hope it's okay I righted one of your photos.)

Too cool! If y'all are ever driving up or down interstate 75 stop in and see me at Jack's Chophouse. Exit 22 in GA right before the FL line

Where does one find a leather strap like the one you have there? I have seen others on this site.

Levy's Leathers had offered the double gun sling in a couple different styles. It's been a while since I've bought one
