Back in my percussion shooting days, .380 brass on a thong tied to the triggerguard. Easy Sneezy!

Tsaah Wookkuh Britsmoothy!! I hope someday I can get out as much as you do!! You sure do know how to make a guy jealous!! I have not shot a nice rabbit for dinner in way too long!! Beautiful Smoothy too!! Thanks for sharing!!

Tsaan Wookkuh Darren!!! That was awesome!! Loved the Video and the Picture!!!

I too use Stumpkillers recipie! It works Great!! No swiping needed for the shooting I do! I have not made the snot but plan to as soon as I can get a hold of some bees wax. Been to lazy to order it.

I second what Rat said!!! Robert Hoyt can do all of that for about $200 round trip!

I found, at least with my load that too much “gas seal” between the powder and the shot caused blown patterns. That’s why I use a felt wad. The heavy nitro card over the paper shot cup and sloppy fiber wad on top were the ticket. Back in the day, before I knew of the Skychief special, I was...

Do try the Skychief special shot load. Most people see nice uniform patters. I had to do a paper “shot cup” to get the best pattern for turkeys. Putting lube on the paper cup keeps it from slugging. At least for me. Like you said load development is always a hoot! My 12 ga double likes the...

Tsaan Wookkuh! On a fine buck and excellently done mount!! Thanks for sharing!

It’s a 36 inch barrel I had made by Greg Christian! It is really handy. I made it short to fit in a hard case that would be Airline approved. I also made it with a standard length of pull so anyone can shoot it. All my other flinters have longer length of pull to fit me. But I don’t have any...

Tsaan Wookkuh Brad!!! Thems good eats!!! And lots of fun!! Good luck on the other tag! My wonderful wife is sending me out tomorrow to try and find some more gobblers, since today got rained out!!

Great story! Where’s the picture!!! Congrats on the baby too!!

I have to give credit where credit is due! It was Brokennock that did the thread on the shot cups mine are a little different but I got the idea from him. The tallow on the shot cut was Blackhands idea. That’s what I remembered. Thank you both for sharing the knowledge!! Put together with the...

I usually put the beard as part of my display. I have found the bristles to be rather delicate. Honestly I felt I was shaking like a leaf!! My heart was beating so hard!! One of the best feeling in the world!!

Thanks Skychief!! I plan to put a picture underneath the mount of the fan! :-) I can’t give him too hard of a time that tube has been in my box for about five years! Since he started hunting with a flintlock! Thank you all for the kind words! Good luck to all are you still hunting! I still...

I posted the story in the hunting journal. This one is for you Skychief! Hoping you feel better soon!!! 20ga Fowler with 70 grains of FFF, a felt wad, 90 grains volume of #6 lead shot, in a paper cup (thanks Blackhand), a heavy over powder wad and a sloppy wet fiber wad! Aka... Skychief...

2019 has been a crazy one! My job is moving me this summer back to Nevada and the Spring snows have made doing anything productive, to get ready for a move, difficult to say the least. Not to mention find time to scout for Public Land Turkeys!! I Normally hunt in my “Old Timey” clothes with my...

Tsaah Wookkuh Buckskinn!! Very fine rifle!! You should be proud!! I can't wait to see the pictures of all the critters you harvest with it!! Thanks for sharing!!

Tsaah Wookkuh Okawbow!!! Turkey's are a challenge, and public land birds are even more of a challenge! Especially when they hear every call bass pro shops sells! I have found that they respond to home made calls better! It's been studied that they can distinguish different calls and recognize...

Sweet! Thanks for the response!!! Once I'm in the Silver State, I will surely be looking to the Golden State for Thunder chickens! Good luck to you all!!

What subspecies of turkey do you have there in California? Here in Oregon there are the Eastern subspecies. In New Mexico they were Merriams Subspecies. Just curious. Thanks!!
