I was fortunate enough to go on a turkey hunt and wouldn't you know it I bagged a tom.
We arrived early in the morning though raining the day seemed promising. As a day wore on we saw raccoons, many squirrel, six deer Young five bucks amongst them and finally two Tom's.
We waited patiently as they were closer to our decoys. When they were close enough i let him have it with a 3" nitro turkey. He did a little dance made no noise and expired quickly. Lol
At first I was going to use my hatsan slugger for this turkey hunt. It's a good thing I ran a pattern test. With an open cylinder at 15 yards the pellet spread was too much to be effective. However thanks to Snapbangs help I was able to borrow a shotgun with a tight choke and a field barrel.
I liked it so much I went out and bought my own Stevens 320 that has both barrels that are interchangeable.
And what would a story be without pictures...
