Was Ronnie "cuz" Strickland there???
Yes - Cuz was there. The line was pretty long to get to him.
I think Cuz has a relationshiop with Mr. Kelly. Mossy Oak "Hunting the Country" shot a series of shows with Cuz and Mr Kelly called "Fan Club" in which they introduce the technique of "fanning". A DVD of the show was included in this book I bought and Mr. Kelly talked to me about "fanning" to kill Merriems in Nebraska/South Dakota.
He was really excited telling me about learning something new like that, as he thought that he had seen it all when it comes to turkey hunting. When I got home I watched the video and it was really facinating and is worth watching again. They use a gobbler tailfan stuck onto some kind of gobbler decoy and wave that thing at these three approaching gobblers and they just marched right on up there to what looks like about 20 yards. Mr Kelly kills two of them with an over/under shotgun and then laughes like it's his first turkey. Really good stuff.
