Thanks Charlie, but I still have three weeks left to get the third bird. Took out a different gun for the a.m. Can only hunt an hour. Got a Mercury Magnum (Spanish) 32" 10 gauge with 3.5 inch chambers. It has nice wood and a beavertail forearm. Never killed a turkey with it and it weighs a ton and is hard to hold up. Barrels look like iron pipes. But with 2 1/4 ounces of 6s and 4s, my range should be way out there!
I think I did not kill the turkey because I had a blooper. One of Sherman Bell's formulas, but never shot them in the cool weather. There was little kick. Turkey probably thought he was hit by a handful of acorns. But he ran under the mountain laurel and I thought I had him and he was dead. Sure wish I had put the 2s in his butt.
Wish I had one of the cameras that could zoom in. Birds look like they are in the next county.
