A .22 Hornet Model 70 Winchester is the classic turkey rifle.

I got my gobbler! Called him in to 35 yards and dropped him with a shot through a gap in the brush, from my hiding place under an oak tree, all cammo'd up like a redneck shopping in Cabela's. The little George Gibbs double rifle was spot on.
He's in the sink now and we'll eat him tonight!

Nice job, Dig. Did he gobble much before you called him in? What type of call did you use? Gil

Here are some photos: http://linktosite.co.uk/news/news-marchI use Lynch's Foolproof caller. He gobbled like a... well you get it. He gobbled a lot! Came in fast - obviously fancied my decoy hens.

all cammo'd up like a redneck shopping in Cabela's. After viewing the photo, I'd say you look more like an Englishman poorly disquised as a redneck with the dead giveaway the Gibbs. That is no redneck's gun.

Good job, Dig. Looks like at least a twenty pound bird.

Yeah, OK, that's a well-sized turkey, you did very well. Who talked you into the duds, or did you feel obligated to do the "when in Rome" act?
Now to the heart of the matter. Pictures, beautiful pictures in a vast array of photographic know-how, pictures, pictures of that Gibbs please!

Nice turkey....don't let the ease of killing them in Texas give you the wrong impression of our turkeys.

Nice bird! What species Rio Grande, Eastern?
"all cammo'd up like a redneck shopping in Cabela's"
A whole lot of truth to that statement here in N ID-Cabelas, Walmart, grocery store, shopping mall with the wife, etc. Iron the duds to refresh the leg crease and smooth out the wrinkles and you have a passable N. ID tuxedo!
