Well chaps, I'm here in Texas and have taken a break from Houston to get out here into the sticks and am about to go turkey hunting. I have a very nice little .22 Savage high-power boxlock ejector double rifle by George Gibbs to do the deed with. Built in the 1930s and mint. Looking forward to calling them in.

That's the way! Always wondered why turkeys were taken with cascades of shot, couldn't see the sport in it. Calling, using fieldcraft, bringing them in must be exciting but watching them disappear in a cluster of dust---please god, not for me.

I'll post photos of success, should I be blessed with it. Otherwise, they would be rather dull.

King, as an avid turkey hunter I can tell you a 20 lb bird doesn't "disappear in a cluster of dust", regardless of what legal shotgun you are using. I highly recommend it. Tons of fun.

Just be careful not to shoot an Eastern, if chasing 'em here in Texas, Dig.

I've often wondered what it would be like to bag a turkey with a rifle, but not legal here either. Of course, a huge part of the fun during the spring season is calling them within 20-30 yards, or closer.

If I used a centerfire cartridge and one hung up at 50-70 yards, I'd more than likely be slinging some lead downrange at it. Not quite as fun, I imagine as up close and personal.
