Talk about some good hunting in its day. Loudoun Co. is still probably the best deer hunting in the state. However, you have to know someone to find a place and I know nobody.

Tom,

When did you kill him, this week? Tell us the details. Distance, choke, etc. Gobbling?

Killed last Saturday. Gobbled 4 times total. Abby gun is chokes .010 and .35. Probably should have used the more open barrel because he was so close (20 yards). However I pulled the rear trigger and over he fell. I must have held a tad higher then normal because he was facing me and I had zero pellets in the breast which make for fine eating.

With a stationary target like a turkey the bead should always be placed on its head. I've never had a pellet in the breast of any turkey I've shot. Pellets in the meat will not put the bird down.

Congratulations Tom on such a fine bird and a beautiful Fox.

Yes, we were lucky as we lived on a farm right next to town with many deer and had access to a couple more. I don't know how many deer I shot there but usually some with every type of weapon. I know I shot 5 with my muzzle loader one year. We had all my wife's family and our friends supplied with corn fed venison. The deer numbers were actually kind of a problem then. We left there in 1997. I hope it is still as pretty a place.
