Nice gun I’d love to have one like that! I wish Illinois would allow 410 for turkey. I’ve found myself gravitating more and more to 410 and 20 over my 12s. Does Indiana allow muzzleloading rifles? I’ve got a 32 and 36 that would play hell on turkeys.

Nice turkey btw to me it dosnt get any better than hunting with an old good especially one with family history.

What distances did you harvest from, and what shot size did you use?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Thanks

About 25 yards, Federal tungsten #9. Last bird I used Super X 7.5's but shot bird at 15 yards, which was pretty much max with that load and skeet choke.

Wow! I'm usually 4 or 5.

Can't argue with results though.
