Shotgun Turkey Triple

[rcfireninja]

Two co-workers and I went out this morning to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We had a good idea where the birds normally go once they get off the roost. We were able to call them in from about 150 yards away using my avian x jake and hen decoys. Three toms came right in to the decoys. When the first one broke away from the others I was able to take him with my blackpowder shotgun at 16 yards. Frank was sitting to my right and took one as he tried to run past us to the right around 25 yards, then Chazz shot the third as it tried to run downhil at around 35 yard. I had a go pro hero 3 on my shotgun but must have been too excited to turn it on right. Was a great morning and the first triple turkey hunt for each of us.

spurs on mine were 7/8 inch with a 8 inch beard, other two were a little bigger. Already turned one fan into a tom decoy for one of the guys to use for his archer tag.

What kind of blackpowder shotgun?

 

[lostriverproductions]

great job, what brand is the muzzy shotgun?

Its an older traditions timber ridge .50 that I bored out myself. I use 70 grains of loose powder with 1.25 ounces of #6 steel shot with .54 over and under wads. I have been able to take 1 pheasant and 3 turkeys now with it.

That's pretty sweet!! Save one for me though, I will be up that way in 2 weeks.

Congrats on the triple. Don't hear that being pulled of very often. I've been apart of several doubles but no triples.

Awesome job! That's quite the feat!!

Looks great. I have done a double out of the same flock but trying a triple would be a feat.

A little trick that makes shooting shotguns, especially compact pistol grip models, more comfortable is to create a push-pull tension between the firing hand and the support hand.

I get your trying to put your name out there but your posts could at least follow the threads.
