A fall turkey hunt

Post by Centaur » Tue Oct 18, 2022 8:47 pm

Having killed around 25 turkeys with a longbow, I was ready for a change of pace, so the Henry single shot got a chance to see how a 20 gauge works. Evidently, pretty well.

About 30 yards, using Federal Grand Slam turkey loads, #5 shot. Very effective load.
