143 years later, this Parker is still filling the pot!
 

Spent the last couple of days at a friends South Texas Ranch, Turkey hunting with fellow member David Boyles and his grandson Courtland, here on Spring Break from South Carolina. Managed to kill a gobblers both yesterday morning and yesterday evening! Yesterday morning I was using my recently acquired early $125 Grade Lifter Short 10, 28". A 1 1/4 oz load of 5's did the trick at 24 yards. The bird went down like he was pole axed! Followed up yesterday evening with a fine gobbler using my Richards, English 10 bore hammergun, 32" Damascus, weighing in at a svelte 10.8 lbs.!

David's Grandson killed his first Turkey Sunday evening, shooting a VH 16. And followed up this morning with another! David took a bird this morning with his beautiful Top Action hammer 10.

I had to leave early this morning, so I don't yet have pics of David and Courtlands birds and guns. I will follow up as they get the pics to me.

Great time, great company! But have to say.....the other hunters got a little tired of mine and David's gunshow...gun talk....and over all gun mania!!

Will post more pics as they come!

Very nice. Great pictures.

Excellent!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing

Here is David and Courtland from this morning! Not to be outdone, David hammered two birds with his top-action 10 this morning, and Courtland harvested his second bird in three days with the VH 16. Great Trip!!!

mighty nicely done and all with parker doubles...charlie

Mmm... rattler loins. I can hear them sizzlin' in the skillet now.

A bleary eyed pic at “dark thirty” this morning of Parker and it’s victims before I had to bolt for the office!

Another showing more of the amazing South Texas “Indian Blanket” wild flowers...this pic is about 5 feet from where the gobbler was taken!
