28ga Turkey in the Snow

[toasty]

Man, we are still getting snow on May 1st. Perfect setup for this morning except the loud crunch on the new snow/ice with every step. Cost me one Tom at fly down. I also just about went down trying to cross a runoff swollen stream this morning at 5:00AM. Being by myself, it may not have ended well, but I was able to back out and find another safer crossing. The birds were hot this morning, gobbling at every little cluck and purr I made on my custom made copper pot for about 30 minutes. I made this call 3 years ago and was determined I was going to use one of my hand made calls this year. After another hunter moved through and shut them down, I closed the distance and put a nice tom down with the little 28ga. 9" beard, 17lbs, and total 46" length. It was cold, wet, and the hike out was brutal, but probably my favorite morning ever turkey hunting.

My favorite gun and I use it more than any other gun I own. Use it for doves, ducks, chukars, turkeys, and occasional clays. It is my go to gun. Couldn't live without it. It does have some pretty bad scratches now, but just adds character. No problems with it so far and I have had for about 6 years.

Congrats on a hard earned turkey!!!
