Did you use a shaper or hand plane on that mahogany?

Careful bevel cuts on a table saw, light touch up with hand plane and sanding

Hero shot of me with a Merriam's turkey from the Kettle Falls area. That shotgun is a Winchester Model 97 16 gauge, made in 1904.

16 is one of my favorites. I have a Citori White Lightning and a BPS. Also an old Stevens 94…

I own 20's & 12's but the 16ga has been my go-to upland shotgun for about 25 years now, maybe more. I hunt with two old Nickel-steel Model 12's, an LC Smith sxs, a Remington Model 11, the Winchester Model 97, and I recently picked up a Genuine Sears & Roebuck /JC Higgins 16ga bolt action shotgun. I plan to draw turkey blood with the JC Higgins this spring. They're all old.

A couple more. The first one is my 2nd Merriam's from Washington, taken with a 1947 Remington Model 11 Sportsman in 16ga, and the other photo is of my Montana bird, taken with a modern conventional pump in 20ga.

"If I can’t catch it, shoot it or F***k it… I don’t have much use for it."
This sums you up I guess..."predator control?"

You are a horrible guesser.

Nice second post, throwing shots across the bow. I’ll choose to be the bigger person.

Cheers

Some more dead turkeys that ended up in my freezer. The first is a Merriam's taken near Lake Roosevelt with my Winchester Model 97 12g made in 1914. The second is one of me and another bird taken in the same area with my 92 year old LC Smith side by side. The last bird is a Rio Grande subspecies taken in Asotin County in 2011 with my Winchester Model 12 16ga made in 1917. If you haven't figured out the pattern yet, I enjoy collecting and hunting with vintage shotguns. I do pretty much the same with my upland hunting, also, although my dedicated chukar guns are more specific.

Pretty poor photos. A couple of roosters I shot in the basin. Model 12 16ga made in 1914, along with my English setter, Patches.

Found this male eating on a dead Heifer. Thats one less that the other Heifers and calves have to worry about. This little SBR shoots pretty good. 252 yards.
