Mine was just this last spring. I have not done a lot of turkey hunting and was pleased to get an invite to a friends land in Mendocino County. I brought my Smallwood 10 bore Damascus underlever hammer gun, loaded with brass shells, black powder and #5 shot. I heard turkeys up a steep hillside, set out a couple of decoys in a compromising position, hunkered under a bush about 20 yards away and started calling. In no time at all a young male was next to the decoys, wondering if he had any chance of getting some action with that old tom already wooing the fetching young lass. Pulled the rear trigger and when the great cloud of white smoke cleared, the turkey was stone dead he never even twitched. Damn, that was fun.
