Actually, Clunkerette is French for "Clunker" with its root from the original Pig Latin, lunkercay. It is an Ideal 302, and yes, Keith, the sling retracts. A better example is my other 302 is which is shown before and after Chris Dawe did his Old World class craftsmanship. https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubb...true#Post492115The 302 is a lower grade Ideal, but not the lowest, that someone engraved in France. It was bought off Naturabuy.fr at a time before stricter gun laws in France applying to exports. This is the gun that was exported via Borderview which is in discussion in another thread. It was worth the wait for my money. Gil

GA Spring Gobbler season opened this morning. I saw two big gobblers but they were in a field with hens and wouldn't come to the edge. My number 2 son John and his buddy pictured below scored a longboard to start the season off right...Geo

That looks like an "Extra Large" bird. I like it and I'm looking forward to hunting them very soon. Pheasants are fighting in the middle of the roads and my drive, so they turkeys should be starting to feel something stir. Won't be too long now. Might have to try to Darne one this year.

Gambel's Quail in NM last day of the year - also shown is a less common Beretta 686c (case color hardened) 20g O/U that I had restocked by Cole Gunsmithing with a knockout stock.

Beauty of a day in the lowcountry turkey woods. I had been after these birds two days, but couldn't get through the thick stuff until today when I found a better route in. I normally wouldn't shoot two, but today may be the last day of the virus truncated season. I expect the governor to prohibit non-essential travel tonight effectively ending the season or at least shortening it severely. Yildiz TK36 .410 single-shot, TSS 7/8 oz. #10 at 32 steps. In the confusion after the first bird went down, I quickly reloaded and stopped the second bird with some fast clucks on my mouth call. Gil

Nice job, Gil! It's always feels a little better when I figure out a tougher than average hunting problem and succeed. And you doubled success at that! Carrying out to birds, especially early season birds would be a bit more of a chore though. Good thing you only have a .410 to lug around I've got my 6# turkey gun. I should pattern it soon. I'm two weeks out from opening day.
