IKS Big Tom Down

[Hortontoter]

Had a great morning. Turkeys were gobbling in every direction at daybreak. I hunted my boyhood home this morning with my dad. We both saw birds but his bird gave him the slip unfortunately. I had this big tom come 15 yards from me in the "backyard" I carried my first Red Ryder in as a kid. A really cool experience to take this bird there. This was my first time shooting a turkey with my .410 and he went right down, flopped a little and was done. I took him at 8:01AM, I didn't weigh him but he has some heft, at least 20lbs or better.

Nice bird and story!

I used to use a 12 gauge with 2 3/4" TOO TJ. These days the .410 fits the bill best for me. Light and no recoil is all the doctor allows, actually he said no shotguns, but what he don't know won't hurt. Any weapon is deadly if used within its limitations.
