    Default And the Golden Jake Award goes to our very own....

    RHINO! For his never ending desire to introduce the sport of wild turkey hunting to newcomers and for his unselfish attitude in taking the wariest bird in all the land, I, Redbeard, in part for his generosity in giving a vest just like mine to my son Will, present to one fine fellow, "The Golden Jake Award". Below is a padauk slate over glass with a Longines-Symphonette 24K Gold Electro-plate (with a touch of gold leaf ) on sterling Wild Turkey coin, surrounded by crimped black leather. Slate is natural padauk with several hand rubbed coats of tung oil, topped with wood wax. Accompanying, the slate is peg number one, a young hen topped with a bone carved Rhinoceros, which I thought was more than appropriate when I came across the bone at the blade show. My daughter even added lucky turkey tracks leading right to "Rhino". Peg number two is a bloodwood peg for the old raspy hen. Along with this custom slate by Redbeard, is a Primos Super Slate for Rhino to present to his next youngster. A very easy starter slate that I still use today after 19 years of hunting the majestic wild turkey.

    I hope you enjoy Rhino and whether it's suited best for the mantle or the woods, know your friendship is treasured. Your bud, Dean
