The season began in April 15th here in Tennessee. I have hunted a number of times with my Parker DH 12 and a GH 16. Both beautiful Damascus barreled guns. It’s been slow with few gobbles. Yesterday I told a good friend via email that I thought I would change it up today. It worked. Fox got the game!

Hey,Hey!! It ain’t over ‘til it’s over. A change of farm does the trick?

Congratulations.

Default Another Turkey for the dinner table
The Mighty 10 took another one down

2 ozs of #6 from the right barrel is all it took. We are blessed with turkey this year, 4 birds from the same field in as many hunts

Great job with that big gun! Now, how 'bout live trap a few Toms and send 'em west?

Hey Gary,

Like I said, we seem to have turkeys everywhere this spring. Our farm has pretty consistently held a good number of turkey, but we’ve also had some lean years. Not sure what decides that, maybe mostly the hatch?

They are not as plentiful here as they were. I am thankful for the one I harvested. Two toms came in to my calling yesterday morning. I was very selective with my shot as I did not want to injure or kill the second one. My season is over and I hope that 2nd bird survives for another season.

Good shooting Reggie. Bet that Parker will keep up with my Smith Long Range.
I rotate guns to bring some good fortune: Super Fox, Smith Long Range, 1916 XE.
The LC has been lucky the last few hunts. Parker will see next Spring.Turkeys come close to see the engraving, while looking for hens!
