Title: Thanks Jeff White and West Augusta
Post by: Sailor731 on May 16, 2018, 07:47:39 PM

First day out with my new call from Jeff White and the new striker from West Augusta (Steve). I hunt in southeastern Washington just outside of Walla Walla. This is the biggest gobbler I have taken in my short turkey hunting experience. I've only been hunting turkeys for the last couple years. Unfortunately I didn't weigh him, but he had a 10 1/4 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs.
 I use a Weatherby 20 ga. model# SA-08 and a Be Adaptive Equipment shooting system. I was injured in a automobile versus pedestrian accident January 26, 2009 when I stop to help a disabled motorist on the freeway.  I'm a hands-free hunter (quadriplegic) as a result of this accident.

Glad that you like them Nels.  I was happy to send you one of my personal hunting strikers and when I told Jeff your story, he was happy to throw in a nice sounding box call.  Yes my friend, you are a true inspiration.  

Buddy Nels in action.  That is some rig my friend.
