1st bird of the season

[JayDee Flohr]

Our turkey season opened yesterday and I was able to get out in the afternoon. A storm front was moving in and the thunder had the toms gobbling non stop. I was tucked up in a dead fall next to an alfalfa field when six birds came past. I decided to put one in the freezer. I've only had this old 16 since last Oct. but it's put down three turkeys so far.
I don't know any past history of the gun but am building some of my own.

Great job. Nice sized bird. You really should smile for pictures, especially when you have such a fine bird for your efforts.

As you have found, there is nothing wrong with a 16 gauge gun. It will do anything a 20 gauge will do, and then some.

Good Hunting. :hatsoff:

I thought I was smiling until I got home and reviewed the pics. :grin: Then it was too late. As you can see from the glare off my head, I was facing directly into the sun.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. :grin:
