We got it done this morning. This is the boys first one of the year. Was cold and snowing, got on it right after fly down. Came in got to about 60 yards and the last 20 took what seemed like forever. It was so fun to watch him shake and gasp each time it gobbled. When it finally crossed the 40 yard line, I told him to take him. He smoked him, 20 ga TSS # 9 is awesome.

22 lbs, 10 1/4” beard and 1 1/4” Spurs.

He then remembered this was his lucky turkey day. Last year one ridge over from this one.

Thanks for looking, be safe and good luck.

Good deal. Would like to hunt in the big timber patches someday. Looks like fun.

Yea, it’s a youth model. Have tried to talk him into something else, but he loves it.

These come from some of the biggest timber patch’s around this area. Both were on the Mon national forest. Can hunt for days and not run across anyone.

I’m 53 and can afford any gun I want, but I wouldn’t trade that little 20ga setup for anything. I’m seriously considering taking it to Mexico just so I’ll have a Royal with a 20ga. Only difference in ours is I topped mine with a FFIII.

Got to call one in for the Ol man today. Brings me great joy to be able to do that for him and with him. Taught me most of what I know about life and Turkeys. Think he still gets as excited about it as the boy does. They were hot, come for a mile and put on a show. Was some of the worlds most beautiful country. Some of the roughest too. [Linked Image]

Some of you might know that bridge. If you go north to south the odds are you cross it
