The Old Man's Longbeard
 

Dean, Asked me to post this up for him as he is in the Northeast Kingdom of VT. This tom was taken by Dean this morning. 18 1/2 pounds 9" beard and 1" spurs. The Parker of choice was his new to him Grade 3 10 bore.

nice job Dean!!!!:bowdown: we start friday :p scott

nice bird dean...looks like you mayed a good choice getting a 10 ga to down this big old bird.... charlie

Most people opt for a camo Mossberg. Dean uses a chrome plated hammer gun.

Them spanish guns sure are shiney

I can see that shiney gun being used in drive by Grouse shootings this fall:rotf:

Way to go Dean. You just have to love those 10ga. hammer guns, nothin better.:bowdown:

Very nice looking turkey and gun. Well done!!!

Going out the driveway last night. Biggest I've seen so far.

Arrived back at my son in law's early this morning and headed out back with my bow and turkey call. Walked over a knoll in the woods and ran smack into a nice tom and hen. Drew down on the tom as he slowly and much to my surprise walked away. Let one arrow fly at less than 20 yards....you know the rest of the story. He's still courting that hen but is probably looking over his shoulder. Only if I had one of my Parkers with me instead of the bow..
