No "Cammies?" but at least "No rattle-No shine" right? |

Nice trophy bird, and a stout lad indeed to hold him by the legs for the foto. Not a 16 ga. man for big birds, but sure do love the old M12's, and the full choke tube and No. 6 shot was a deadly choice- How close and was it a fatal head shot that did Mr. Strut My Stuff in?
Also noticed in both fotos- muzzle pointed skyward, also the action slide was open. Start them with good gun safety, just like the Duke of Earl did with his "If a sportsman true you'd be, listen my son to me"-- Congrats! |

Yes, it was a head shot. About 25yds. Bird came in readily. I couldn't see it because I was calling about 10 yds behind my son in a spot where I didn't have a clear view. Wyatt said he would run about 20 yds and stop gobble and strut several times while he could see him. I really enjoy calling birds for folks. Haven't shot one myself for about 10 years. Always too busy farming when the time is right. Had to make time for Wyatt though.
As for the safe muzzel direction, I teach hunter ed here in Colorado. We really harp on muzzle control etc. |

Wyatt, I have shot Cutts Compensator guns for fifty years, have a bunch of them in my collection. Occasionally, the tight choke tubes will throw a pattern a bit off from center. At 25 yards, your pattern from the full choke tube is about the size of a saucer. It must be centered for head shooting of gobblers. Beg Dad for a handful of shells for you to shoot at a stationary target to make sure that your gun is shooting at dead center on your target. Use only the chokes that you have tested on paper targets. Good luck on your next hunt and congratulations on your success. By the way, the action slide is not open. Open that action when not hunting.

Thanks Bill, I will pass this info on to Wyatt. When we hunt ducks he has had his best success with the spreader tube. We have not patterned any of the tubes but will this summer.
