Default A Little Tom Foolery

Didn't make it to the Southern but spent my time in the woods with my son Jeremy. Close call on the first day, but he got a big bird on day 2 and called it in himself. Got it with my 870 that I bought in 1972 with money made from baling hay. Then it was my turn on what I thought was shaping up to be a slow day, I called this one in. Both birds had 1 3/8" spurs and 11 in beards.

Oh, both birds were taken with TSS 9s, devastating.
Next bird will be with a sxs and lead, maybe thru my WW Greener hammer gun or grade 2 Parker ha.mer gun.

You might try a Parker Harold… I hear they made a pretty good gun back in the day.
