Hunted about 40 days of the 3.5 month season (goose/duck hunting bug got me). Group worked with kids this year and thinning does. Thinned over 10 out. Was a good year. Sun rising as the heater is on in the double bull.

The belly going toward the anus has some feathers very, very light.....turkey hunters should save them all!! Pic's do not give them justice.

Trying to get a couple gill jigs ready! Using some squirrel strips.

1/32 with some turkey feathers.....

These looks the will get a bite.....have ever tried.

The clear looks good because whatever the shank thread it shines thru...

Old walleye taper jig with a size 9 eye and #1 hook!

I normally use a heat gun but looking at something different for little more custom work but the work takes longer. There has been some talk on here about lamps. Can a couple guys give me some thoughts on the link below. This place is one of the amish places...

A shot an miss with the deer back home with no work tomorrow. The new eyes arrived and could be a good day to get ready for some jig swaps. Good purchase and a lot of different eyes.....run out of pic post space! Here is a few.....new colors look good

Can I Stump squeeze a tube style jig head. I took a 1/8 jig head tube and #1 hook for starting point. I used a couple different style of needle nose pliers. I found one size that can make a squeeze and kinda make a shelf. I think it will hunt. Have not seen these before but looking...

The debate is always out there......what size hook. For Illinois, I turned a little more last year towards a #1 for crappie and I like longer shank to have more options but they all have there applications. What does the group think on what is the most common hook size in your area...

Looking at new materials.....tried this micro pearl material. Looks really nice for a gill getter. Have a gold paint on the 1/16 with a #8 sickle.

Forget to show this color. Jig is a taper 1/16 with #4 Mustad fine wire (to fine for me). I clear coat head then tap while warm green candy over top. I like this medium light blue chenille. Duck flank added for contrast and tail action.

Been working on jigs and have the recently turkey feathers on my 1/16 custom football head and #8 hook. Looks good in the sun I hope it looks better from a gills lips in a couple months! Left one kinda uncut at the top area near head inspired by others on the site.

Morning, Trying some new material. This is my tapered 1/32 with a stump squeeze and micro yarn for the body from Globugs. Says UV but have not confirmed. Came out like it should hunt. Material is not bad and is 25 ft in package. Next hunt at JoAnn fabric may bring back some additional...

Morning. Love Stumps video on Bunny's....got me thinking what else is out there. I purchased palmer chenille in small, med, large from J Stockard. My impression are it will work very well. I will say my humble thoughts are small is for 1/32, medium is for 1/16 and large is for 1/8 or 1/4...

So my buddy calls me yesterday and said..my turkey from 2006 taxidermy work has failed......do you want the turkey for feathers. HMMMMMMM Hell Yes! I zipped a IL turkey this year but the tips of the Nebraska really have a different look. Nice looking bird with a lot of feathers. One...

Anybody using the wing flash material. Little messy to play with! Also a little peacock with satin. Have some shadows on pic...normally go outside but is below zero and windy!

Hello Team, First time hosting a swap however I have participated in many. I think anyone can go back at older swaps to understand the fundamental rules and shipping. I am looking at below zero temps here in Illinois and thinking spring. Let's get 2015 kicked off with your best spring...

Have a few shad darts left over from last year with glitter. Using mallard flank for the body. Next pour I will have the sickle hook look. The pink seemed better last year than the red.
