After more than one could have been, should have been, and might have been.
Throw in an almost or two.
A vintage J. C. Higgins 16ga. and a nice gobbler finally crossed paths.
I got this at an auction , this past winter. The dial reads .633 at the muzzle.
My hand load of buffered, copper plated no. 6

Congratulations!
Nice bird, bowing down to the Power of Purple he is.
Also, found this recipe which is, I'm told, useful for turning wild turkey legs into something edible and good-tasting. https://www.themeateater.com/cook/recipes/trophy-meals-beer-and-citrus-braised-wild-game-carnitas-street-tacos |
