My first turkey was taken many years ago with my Brno ZP49, in the Inner Coast Range of Solano County, CA.

I am usually in Africa during spring turkey season, so my next was only two years ago, in Mendocino County, using my Smallwood 10 bore, with black powder and brass shells. Yeah, he was a only jake, but even though I have caught hundreds of African lions with a dart gun at close range, that turkey with a 140 year old gun and a cloud of white smoke was my most memorable hunt ever.
