I shot this bird on the next to the last day in 2009. He came in from behind me and I let him walk by, he was heading for a hen that was 40 yards out on a log. When he got about 20 yards away, I let him have it.

The smoke cleared and there he was down for the count.

This was my 4th Turkey with the Encore BP shotgun, I love this gun and all my other T/C guns. I bought my first one in 1973 and still use it, a 50 cal Hawken.
