Sure Garry, I got pictures- but not of that one. Got this one today with the Grade 2 hammer 12 with 30" F/FF, ser 34275. No action early morning, and was half asleep in a lawn chair when one gobbled over the hill. Put the decoy out quickly and he popped into the field 250 yds out. Came right in, and at 100 yds, laid down the box call, cocked the hammers, and just used my natural voice to bring it thr rest of the way in. Thought he was at 25 yds, but was 32yds. Shooting 1 1/8 oz of #7's with 23 gr of 7625 in a Rem hull. Went down real hard.
Two year old with 10" beard and 1 " spurs, probably 20 lbs. Very happy with it. My first Parker turkey--pictures to follow, have to download off my phone.
Hey Garry, didn't you live in Ohio for a while??-flushed a grouse in strip pit area, made me quite happy!!
