Killed a turkey (10.5 in beard and 1 in spurs) this morning. Turkey was 15yds and closing in a full strut. Dont like to shoot one in strut but it almost became self defense. Needless to say the turkey took a serious blast with that combo at that distance.
Way to go Longshanks!!! :icon_thumright:
By the way guys..be careful eating a turkey you shoot with hevi 7's. Tremendous amount of shot in turkey and its hard to get it out no matter how thin you slice it...just broke a tooth..
Ouch... So far I have been lucky and not had to pick many bbs out of the breat meat
Congrats!

It not just 7's. I shot a couple birds last year with the Hevi 6's at 45 steps. I missed a few shot in the breast while cleaning the bird but found them later with my teeth. It ain't like biting down on lead. :o
Yup, that stuff is hard on the teeth..back after them in the morning!!
