My first Minnesota turkey, at last.  



45 minutes before sunrise, today, and they are gobbling hard.

As he lay.  He took a long time to cover the last 25 yds or so.  I could not see him until he was 24 paced yards away, but I was ready with gun up.  I let him step into my fist-sized window, exactly as planned, and then took him down with a 1.25 oz of #5s and 26.7 grs of Longshot.  My basic pheasant load.

Grandpa's and his brother's 1897 Winchester does it again from 1917 to today.
