67galaxie, Nice bird and gun. I'm especially interested in that shotgun. Do you have any better shots of the action? What is it's chokes and other specs, if you don't mind my asking?

King, it's tungsten shot with a density 60% greater than a lead #9. Yes, head and neck shots. We try to avoid shot in the body. If one isn't careful, it'll break a tooth just like steel shot.

Gil, I love that box turtle call you built for me. Friend Keith (67galaxie) saw mine and picked himself up a perfect size shell with plans to make one. He may need instructions from you...Geo

Brent, I'll let 67galaxie share the particulars of the Greener with you, but I used to own it and Keith's big gobbler this morning is not the first one this gun has taken. Here's one I killed with it a number of years ago:

Congrats to everyone who has posted gobblers the past couple of days. I forgot to check the forum yesterday, and there has been several added. Here is one I got this morning. He was my best of the season, with spurs of 1&7/16 and 1&3/8 inches, and he would hang by them easily. He gobbled a good bit and was very interested in my calling, but he just wouldn't come to my initial setup. I moved a couple of hundred yards down the hill, clucked to him on the trumpet a few times, and he came right in. I didn't have an open shot until he was 19 yards away, so I flipped the selector to the open barrel and shot him with 2.75" load of #10 TSS. The 10s give me a wider pattern up close and a little more room for aiming error. Good hunting to all.
