hunting with a parker

[Double Play]

Charlie,
I went hunting with a good friend who loves turkey hunting but hasn't shot a bird in 10 years. His thing is calling in birds for others to shoot. I know a lot of folks love to shoot turkeys with big bore guns or large loads but I was pretty confident that if I got a shot it would be inside 30 yards. I killed this tom at about 25 yards with 7/8ths oz. of #6 shot from a 20 gage VH. The gun is choked full/full and throws a very tight pattern which put the bird straight down. If I thought I would need to take a longer shot I would have used more gun but in this case it worked out well.

Russ,
Thats one beautifull hammer gun.

Thank you Larry ,Congrats. on the successful hunt ,That is quite a nice bird and a great Parker !I don't know much about this Turkey hunting ,but on this past Sat. I had one gobbling a long way off ,I guess I should have tried to move in on him ,but I sit up shop at the edge of the field and began calling ,he did close the distance ,the last time I heard him ,he seemed to be within a hundred yards or so ,but I never got a look at him ! I am not hunting this morning as our golf league kicks off it first round of the year in about an hour here ,it is pouring down rain ,but I feel obligated to show up at the course !You probably have never noticed ,but I love to visit and toss the bull around ,so I am sure a good time will be had by all even if there is no golf taking place !
