A little turkey story, in pictures...

[The Baron]

Opening day in Ontario was a good one for me and my Caywood .62 smoothie. Here's a brief story in pictures...

One of the three charging my full strut decoy... "Let's get 'im fellas!"

"You want summa this, Pretty Boy!". "You first, no you first, no you first"

whack, whack, whack!!

"Huh, you like that?! Want some more tuff guy?!"...

click.. pfffft... BOOM!

"ouch!" (looks like a wad, but all I use is o/s cards - I think it's a little piece of old corn stalk)

THE END. :grin:

Load was 80gr. 3f, 4 o/s cards, 1 1/8oz. #6's and 1 o/s to hold it all in. Shot was 12 yards and it did the job with authority! Bird was 22#, 8 3/4" beard and matching 7/8" spurs.

Thanks to my friend Dave for lending his professional talents with a camera. We got it on film too!
