RE: First Morning of Scouting
The Confetti thing reminds me of something,
In 1991 or 92, me and my Dad got on this kick of loading our very own Super Duper Hot Turkey loads- We loaded probably 40-50 of these Hot loads prior to the upcoming season and Test fired them for a week with Great results-
The second morning of the season, we had this Bird Gobblin and strutting at about 70-80 yds in the broad open- Called to this bird for a solid thirty minutes with him coming no closer- I decided to slip back away from our setup to make him think the hen was moving away in hopes of pulling him in to my Dad for the shot-
Well, it worked the bird moved within gun range to say the least- He came in at 27 steps before realizing his mistake when my dad squezed the trigger to hear a funny "POOOMP" and watch his BB's run out the end of his barrel to about 10 yds and fall to the ground- From my position, it was hillarious to say the least,
First thing I said after wipeing the tears from my eyes was " Thats the best pattern I've ever seen"!
That was the luckiest turk , I've ever encountered , We made it back to the truck and headed straight to Walmart to pick up some turkey loads and I never stuck anything in my gun other then factory loads again.

LMAO!!!Vance I load all my stuff and "knock on wood"have had nothin but great success doing it.I've changed the recipe for my 10 over the years a few times but started loading them way back yonder because I was so displeased with the modern loads for my 10 back then.Now its part of my preseason ritual to load my own turkey thumpers in my own little hunting room of which my wife calls hers husbands own little "sanctuary"!She's right!!!!

Oh yea Jalvja- The look was definately "The Money Shot"!
He paused for just a moment I guess to gather his thoughts and then said,
"What the heck was that"?
I couldnt stop laughing- He didnt find it ammussing to say the least, he was shaking his head all the way back to the truck and muttering stuff under his breath.
