Throwback Thursday: First Eastern Gobbler Harvested with 20 Gauge Fowler in Curly Cherry Stock

God I want one! Beautiful work buddy and hell of a bird!

Good luck on your hunt.

@James let’s talk!

@Brian thank you!

😱 What an amazing bag, Rick! I'm assuming you crafted that as well?! I'm guessing that is a black powder holder.....I'm not educated enough on this to know terms, but it is gorgeous. If you have more closeup photos, I'd love to see! I zoomed in the best I could😁

@Lisa the bag is called a “possibles bag.” It stores small accoutrements a longhunter needs, like patches, balls, the screw, primer, etc. It’s elk leather. I wish I could say I made it, but it’s purchased. The other item is a shot flask. It’s where I store fine shot used for hunting winged game. Didn’t make that, either. However, the turkey spurs adorning the strap are all mine! Lol

Beautiful colored turkey. Congratulations!
Really nice looking setup.
Have a safe trip and good luck in Nebraska! Hope to see a turkey post!🦃

Thanks for sharing the details! The spurs are a fantastic addition!

That is such a cool setup! And congrats on the bird.👍💪

Thanks, @Zach

Sweet!

Nice. If you’re in Nebraska and have a chance to head to Chadron, do it! Museum of the fur trade is pretty awesome.
