Brad Gootee was thankful to have the SRB Turkey Predator Rest and Gun Butt Sling on his recent turkey hunt. The combination of the two made it possible for Brad to work several different calls over a 45-minute time span to bring a bird in for the shot. Here is Brad’s story:

A few weeks ago Richard Howland sent me SRB Field Rests’ newest product, the Gun Butt Sling. I attached the Gun Butt Sling to my shotgun, so I knew I would have it ready for the hunt. My buddy and I headed off to camp with an agenda to sneak back to the area where a coyote had derailed a hunt last week. A spot where a bird was hammering hid head off when a coyote busted the bird out of the area. We get to the location right about roosting time and hit the owl call. Sure enough, a gobble erupted off the roost in the same spot.

​

I got absolutely no sleep all night from tossing and turning until the alarm was about to go off. I sat up and asked my buddy, “You ready to do this?” He replies, “You are going to get that bird, Bub!” So, we pack up and head out grabbing the SRB Turkey-Predator Rest, throw blind, and shotgun with attached SRB Gun Butt Sling.

​

We set up a little ways from last weeks’ spot and waited. It was not too long before the bird belted out its first gobble. The tom spent 40-minutes hammering gobbles from the roost. Finally, the bird pitched down and started slowly working his way to us. I sat for 45-minutes with my gun up and using multiple calls at the same time to convince this bird he was hearing the real deal. Finally, here he came! Boom! I’m sure glad I had the Gun Butt Sling and SRB Turkey-Predator Rest on this hunt. I was able to keep my gun where I needed it while handsfree, allowing me to use several different calls, and allowing the shotgun to be ready for the shot with little movement. ~Brad Gootee, SRB Field Rests Pro-Staff
