Default 1st turkey

My son Jeremy shot his first turkey this morning out at our Ohio farm. No, not a sxs but using a gun that I
worked and saved for when I was in high school in the 70's, an 870 Wingmaster. Was much impressed with the #9 TSS. Worked a second bird but couldn't get it to come in.
Jeremy's bird was a big mature bird with 1 1/8" spurs but had a 1 inch beard that was brown on the ends---mites or fungus? Jeremy wasn't too upset. Now it's my turn, passed up a Jake yesterday in WV.
