I'm an Ithaca fan...especially for left handed shooters. I'd seriously consider the 20 gauge Ithaca 37 Turkey Slayer. Very manageable recoil. You'd have to find one on the secondary market though I think. Not sure what they are bringing these days.

Congrats to everybody on a great season!

Was 270 live or dressed weight? Great deer.

Great. Thanks again.

Wow...that's great to hear. I just got back from the farthest corner of my clear cut and I get absolutely no cellular service. So this is looking like my only option. About to pull the trigger now. Where does the Hub mount? Does that need to go in the house next to the router someplace...

Thinking about picking one up. I have a 3 acre clearcut behind my house that I am thinking about setting up a bait station for coyotes. I get terrible cell service, so this might work. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though.

I've never had an old fashioned but I do like a high-ball. You guys have peaked my curiosity. I'm on it!

Ah that's too bad it was stolen. Mine has shrunk too in the nearly 40 years I've had it. I like my hat so much that I bought a hat stretcher and every few years I soak it in water and then stretch it before the season so it fits again.

Ah, they're not that bad. A blaze orange Jones cap, a green and black checkered wool jacket, and a Remington pump in .30-06....timeless.
