Default Not your usual Parker turkey gun

I was making my usual early morning drive through the farm today to check on greenhouses, etc when I came upon a group of 3 toms and 7 jakes.
I have never shot a turkey- ever. I continued to the barns and was about to head to my other job, when I said to myself -"S__T, I 'm going home and getting a gun".
So I headed north to my house- 9 miles away- and after 1/2 mile I remembered I had my Parker DHE Double trap gun (BTFE, Miller single, vent rib) in the back with all my usual ammo.
So I turned around, pulled in the access road to the farm, grabbed the trap gun, drove down the road by our compost area. After spotting the birds in the road, I did the unconventional and shot this Tom with a load of #6s from a Parker Trap gun.
Tomorrow I will try my 10 gauge top lever Twist with some of Morris's best shells.
I have the fever now.
