I shot a 24 lb. gobbler with 9" beard and 1" spurs at 9 am. Called all morning and had no reply. Pulled put my push pin call from Shannon and after 3 sets of yelps a gobbler answered from about 100 yards away.
Long story short-used Pedersoli 12 ga. SXS muzzleloader-89 gr. of Black mz and nickel plated shot from Ballistics products. 33 yard shot.
I've killed 3 other turkeys with an encore 12 ga. ml shotgun-this is the 1st with the Pedersoli
Congrats!! That's WAY up there on the "cool" scale! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Much better luck than me. Congrats good going.
Great job!
Awesome, good job

Yeeehaw! !!!! That's skill!! going old school , glad that push pin helped seal the deal
WTG on a heavy bird too!!! :icon_thumright:
nice tom, good shooting
:boon: very nice
All kinds of cool in the way you got that big ole bird! Congratulations.
Congrats! I like an opening day gobbler!
Congrats man. Wish I could find the courage to use a BP gun to kill a bird but my time has been limited in the past to the point that I sometimes feel handicapped with just a shotgun. Lol. That's a good bird for sure.
Congrats....Marriottsville Muzzle Loaders, located at AGC @ Marriottsville in Baltimore County, Maryland, should also be impressed with your prize --- Since the president of Marriottsville Muzzleloaders {Gary} was impressed when I showed him my 23 pounder, that I bagged with my shotgun in Maryland yesterday at 7 a.m. --- sporting a 10" beard and 1 1/8' spurs.
Congrats on a nice bird. I was wondering if anyone hunted with ML.

Fine bird all right. Very cool. Awesome beard too. ;)
That's awesome!! I need to get a mzzl shotgun barrel for my Encore and try that!! Congrats on your gobbler!! :icon_thumright:
Congrats JB!
Awesome bird!
RutnStrutn-I have an Encore 12 ga. barrel also-had it with me at the time-I've taken 3 birds in the last 2 years with it-last years Delaware bird was 22 lbs with 3 beards.
Both guns are fun and I feel lucky that this gobbler came so close. The Encore has a Patternmaster anaconda choke.
Congrats on the bird!
