Turkey with late Grandfathers shotgun - 04/24/19 03:09 PM
Been wanting to take a bird with my grandfathers Steven mod 311 double barrel 12 ga. Last weekendI made up a batch of 1 3/8 oz nickel plated #6 for it that patterned really well at 35 yards with the full choke barrel modified wasn't to shabby either.
The second season here has been tough toms are hen'd up and not working plus it been raining off and on. This morning neighbors friend Brian got a nice bird at sun up and texted me that I could hunt their farm. So between rain showers jumped across the fence and got into his blind. About 2 hours later had a couple of jakes come from behind and I shot one at 15 steps as it was checking out my decoys.
I bought this gun from my uncle Fred for 30 bucks when I was in sixth grade back around 1978 have taken a bunch of squirrels and rabbits growing up. Havn't use it in awhile thought it would be fun to take a bird with it. The one pic is taken from the blind
