The kid from Chicago did it again this year... His southernification is going well.
He stepped up from his Great Grandfathers .410 to a 20 gauge 870 this year. 3" Federal Heavyweight #7.
He passed a shot on a jake at 15 steps hoping a gobbler would come close. His decision and it was the right one. I didn't get a lot of practice with the trumpet pre-season but it was what the bird wanted to hear.
The bird slipped behind us and my nephew had to make a move. The turkey busted him but the 7's got there first.
Public land gobbler:
10", 1-1/8", 20# 13oz
