We got it done this morning. This is the boys first one of the year. Was cold and snowing, got on it right after fly down. Came in got to about 60 yards and the last 20 took what seemed like forever. It was so fun to watch him shake and gasp each time it gobbled. When it finally crossed the 40 yard line, I told him to take him. He smoked him, 20 ga TSS # 9 is awesome. 22 lbs, 10 1/4” beard and 1 1/4” Spurs. He then remembered this was his lucky turkey day. Last year one ridge over from this one. Thanks for looking, be safe and good luck.

Yea, it’s a youth model. Have tried to talk him into something else, but he loves it.
These come from some of the biggest timber patch’s around this area. Both were on the Mon national forest. Can hunt for days and not run across anyone.

I’m 53 and can afford any gun I want, but I wouldn’t trade that little 20ga setup for anything. I’m seriously considering taking it to Mexico just so I’ll have a Royal with a 20ga. Only difference in ours is I topped mine with a FFIII.

Some of you might know that bridge. If you go north to south the odds are you cross it
