Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Here's somethin' ya don't see everyday: My wife snuck around the corner of my workshop and got me. This was yesterday after returning my failed turkey hunt. I got rain, high winds, lightning, and hail while I was in the woods. I sprinted for the truck and got there just before it got really bad. My flinter went off even though it had gotten pretty wet on the way. I emptied into a stump near the truck. Anyhow, after a couple of hours it cleared up enough and the wind blew the grass dry enough that we could mow. Didn't have much better luck today, it rained allmost through the entire shooting hours, and has been rainingpretty much since sunset tonight. I hope to get out in my primitives in the morning and flintlock me a turkey bird! Bo

CaptainB Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Bo, I hear ya on the rain mate. All that bleedin' sogginess ruined me an' my lady's plans fer a trip ta the lake this weekend. I'm jes' hopin' it all clears up before our local Faire starts this coming Saturday. An' is it still spring turkey season cross the border there? We only got a week left here. Also, a quick question. Do ye always go huntin' in garb? (Honestly looks like an enjoyable way to add some "authentic 'wear an' tear'" to yer kit) Edited April 25, 2011 by CaptainB "If I believed in fate, I wouldn't be playing with loaded dice..."
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I try to always go in some kind of period garb, whether it is colonial or more toward the 1850's. Spring Turkey season is best because we don't have to wear blaze orange so it doesnnt look as funky!I just got back from getting soaked all morning. Started raining about 7:00 a.m. after I had been there since before daylight. I stuck it out until I was soaked clear through my shotjacket. I did have four deer come within 50 yards of me on the edge of a big field while I was watching the only gobbler I've seen this season. He was a quarter mile across the plain and wouldn't acknowledge the calls at all. I did the three-mile tour below and then atop the bluff, but by the time I got back to the truck the rain had picked up pretty good, and my priming got wet so I had to clean out the pan and re-prime but it did go off. As if all this isn't bad enough, as I am driving up the road to my house, there under our east bedroom window is a fat hen turkey foraging in the yard!!! As I pull in the driveway she makes a quick exit around behind the chicken pen. I will be watching out the windows the rest of the day! Jas. Hook- we have a three horse mower with a donkey attachment, but they are too picky about where and what they eat! Bo
William Brand Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Here's somethin' ya don't see everyday: One of my favorite pics. Â Â Â
James Smythe Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Alright I think I will post a very brief set of pictures of my attire. But I think I will first do something kinda fun. I am going to post my first pirate costume that was the tip of the iceberg that got me into pirate enthusiasm. Mind you I always loved pirates but this costume started me living pirate. After that I began to modify it after the image of Sparrow. After getting tired of the Jack Sparrow comments I began to forge my own persona, James Smythe and have been breaking free of Jack elements. Before too much criticism comes my way for it still looking a lot like Jack these steps are small. But the basic idea is I am keeping what I like and changing out what I do not. The long coat is only good in winter. I like bucket boots so I upgraded them. I have two tricornes now. One desidely ship worthy and one that is not weather protected but looks really nice. The trews became green canvas. I made a belt and belt bag. Right now my bandana is a spare blue scrap (amazing how a different bandana stops the Jack references) until the hand dyed green one is done. I wear a piece of eight around my neck (off the Atocha wreck). I should in a few weeks be getting a package with a cartridge box and a few more things. I also have a ship's candle lantern coming in. And for those that might want to see a different side.... these are my pyrate trews in a different setting.
William Brand Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 A good red beard and a fun transition of photos. I love seeing an evolution into piracy. Â Â Â

James Smythe Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 The last photo was of a contest I enter at St. Pat's. Out of the six years I have entered I won five times. I plan on making a new vest and maybe a new long coat but I haven't found a material that speaks to me.
