I love my slate call but that is a nice looking box call.You make them just for personal use or for sale?Got to be a added bonus to kill a turkey with your own calls.Is that a yelper beside the box?

That looks really good, kill any birds using your own? I've got a block of cedar setting on the bench I was going to make a box call with, but keep forgetting about it when there's guns to build!
I've been thinking about turkeys for weeks now. Become one of my favoite seasons and really looking forward to it.

Same here. After bowhunting them, I've reeeaaally gotten excited for it. Also started making some of my own slate calls last year. Called em in with it, but haven't closed the deal yet. Maybe this year. ;D

It won't happen before this spring - got two other guns on the bench in progress now - but by the following spring I hope to have a 16 ga smoothbore flintlock done just for turkeys.  |

Where would you get the materials to build a blackpowder shotgun?

Fox, I think I'm cutting you loose on your own now, you've killed enough in the past year! You will be hunting with me when I need a thick phrag marsh pushed for me though. Several suppliers sell parts sets for flint smootbores, but most I've seen are 20 ga. Colerain makes 16 and 12 ga bbls, though, so I'll probably get one of the 16's, 42", and pick up a lock and stock blank at Dixon's this summer. Going to keep it very plain for hunting, not a lot of shiny brass or engraving. May end up being the first one I try to age and make look real old. One of the guys in our building group is working on a 20 ga, trying to replicate an Armstrong, Maryland style fowler he saw pictured in one of the reference texts. |
