Sorry guys.  Life has been very hectic lately.  The end of turkey season and then getting laid off at work.  Wasn't expecting that one.  As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures without Tiny Pic, I'll get them up.  That bird was shot with my Grandfather's 1875 Remington and Son's Lifter Double Barrel 10 gauge.  My Grandfather bought it during the first Great Depression and I killed a turkey with it during the second depression.  My Dad was tickled.  It's the gun that he and my Uncles hunted with when they were growing up.

Grandpa's gun.
My Grandfather bought this 1875 Remington and Son's "Lifter" Double Barrel 10 gauge during The Great Depression for $5.  He, My Dad and my Uncles all carried this gun as they grew up.  When Dad got too old to hunt he gave it to me.  I ordered some low pressure shells from RST ammo and took a turkey with it.  Dad was sure proud.  First bird I've ever shot that didn't flop.  Amazing what #5 lead can do from a low pressure 2 7/8" 10 gauge shell.   :TooFunny:
