WOW, If Gil and Coosa are morons for using #9TSS, I don't know what he'll think of Wingshooter16 getting this bird with #9 lead....1 ounce from a 16 gauge Manufrance Ideal. Pretty sure the choke is .034. In case anyone is wondering, I am posting on behalf of Wingshooter16, as he is away from his computer and can barely manage a phone to take a picture. laugh

Anyway, as has been noted in other threads, I shamed him into putting away his full auto Franchi canon with 10" chambers shooting a pound of #11 TSS or whatever it is that he has been using to blow turkey into red mist and gently encouraged him to walk the walk (active member of both Double Gun and 16 Gauge Society....anyone else see the discrepancy?) and use the proper weapon. Which he did and here's the evidence:

I think this one is being sent to GQ for Mike's upcoming photo spread. How rugged! A real man's man. Although I'm deducting points for the lawn furniture. I think his Texan card should be revoked.


And here is the backup.



Bwahahahaha...Mike will likely never ask me to post for him again.

Must have been photoshopped.

Yours truly sitting in a chair behind a bush on an opening in the woods, callin' turkeys.:



Easter turkey for Georgia bird number two. Not a big guy, but he came in to the call in full strut and lit up like Christmas. Through the bush he looked like a bruiser. I'd passed up two jakes earlier this morning. He fooled me.:



Gun is an AYA Cosmos single with 3" chamber. Kicks way too much, I changing over to RST 5s...Geo

James, where is Mike's beret and scarf? Pretty gun, for sure. Geo, I believe there is a Turkolounger model available from Wild Wings. Good work, gentlemen.
Here's Dale's man among turkeys shot with his Yildiz .410 Pixie Duster in the lowcountry. He's a better turkey hunter than photographer as the bird is hanging by his spurs.

Another "can't be dead" because shot with TSS9's. Billy's bird, 13/16 oz. TSS9's, Yildiz Single-shot .410 (MK36) shot today on private land. Box turtle shell slate call I made for him years ago. Gil

Revelation to me, Gil. Around here 9s are for curators collecting bird specimens. We'd think nothing above 7 1/2 for anything. Or is it choked properly for neck and head so nothing in the meat?

I was fortunate enough to bag a 20 pound tom this morning with my favorite gun. An 1871 12 bore Greener Facile Princeps using Number 5 Republic Metallic Cartridge Company black powder 5's. He was barely in earshot but circled around me within an hour to 50 yards. The Tom moved in closer to my scratching to 45 steps and I dropped him along with most of his fan.
