21 lb Gobbler falls to 135 year old Parker

I have been trying to kill a turkey with my 1875 #2 frame 12 gauge Parker hammer gun since last turkey season. I did not get a shot last year. I have to have the bird come within 35 yards to be confident of a kill. My low pressure loads (7300 psi) of 1 1/8 oz of 6's will do the job out of the tight choked Parker. I heard 2 gobblers at 6:50 am and by 7:20 this one was on the ground. I am glad I finally got one with this gun since it weighs close to 9 lbs.

Mr. Parker made guns to last.
