COMPOSITE BARREL BIRD #3
Finally got the third bird, using a different composite barrel gun for each. Killed this one shooting a 32" 1901 12 PH, .040 and .042 in a nice set of twist barrels. Shooting factory Remington Express 6s in the right barrel. Thirty steps. These two gobblers had foiled me several weeks ago, and the hens would not let them come. I had been after them at least a half-dozen mornings with no luck. Would not gobble. They were lonely today, one bird only gobbling in the tree, both flew down and came to seventy yards to strut, then left and tried to come in behind me. Now I can get some sleep; 4:45 every morning is early. Called in four big gobblers in twenty mornings, got three and a maple tree. Charlie, wish you could have been here for the other one!
