I bought a sweet little Dh O-frame 26" F/F from Greens guns. It sat on my pre gun safe rack for about two weeks. This was in early april....I was walking my brand new Gordon setter puppy out back and herd a turkey gobble!, and it was turkey season! We walked back up to the house and I swaped pup for the Parker and a camo hat, two B&P 2 5/8 no.5 loads and a turkey call and headed out back. I had never fired this little 1903 parker as yet. ......couple calls...couple clucks and I could see his head only 30 feet to my left in some real thick stuff...his body hidden by a 18" tree. I slowly snaked the muzzle between the limbs and twigs I was hidding behind....put the beed on that red head and POW....I stood upfast to see a turkey hot footing it....must have been the gobler. The bird I shot was flopping and when I turned my head to look I could see two black boddies just a floppin. Turns out a 2nd jake must have stuck his head out at a very wrong moment......(-: WOW>>two bird with my very first shot, from a short shelled 16ga. 1oz load and a Parker built 108 years ago!!!! sweet deal that morning...Thanks all SXS ohio...
