not parker but ithaca turkey
 

NH opening day turkey season started friday, i did get one and "missed one" at 30 yds 18 lbs, 10 in beard and 7/8 th inch spurs. shot it at with my NID Ithaca super 10 with 1 1/2 oz 6's. for my next trick i will be using my NH for my 2nd bird.

Very nice. A super 10 is on my list.

Congrats Scott good shooting

And good eating.

You inspired me to dig out my magnum 10 Ithaca. Good work!!

Now the question is whether you’re going to use factory 3 1/2” shells with 2 1/4 ounces of payload ? I patterned some Winchester 10 gauge 3 1/2” Turkey loads in the Grade 2 top lever hammer gun I had using the Belgian fluid steel barrels and even with the gun weighing 10 1/2 pounds it still cleared your sinus’s . Same can be said when I bought a nice new Remington SP-10 semi auto in 1990 and patterned it . Quite heavy and gas operated but recoil in a turkey hunting sitting position was quite intense .

Truth be told, I used 2 7/8 inch RST light loads. At the range I get with decoys, that’s plenty through those chokes… and my shoulder likes it, too.
