my Dad just called me and he already got a 10" Tom with his homemade smooth bore flint lock.  I'll post a pic when he sends it to me.

That's cool. I created all the 2009 galleries last night so there is some empty space for it.

Great looking bird, congrats to your Dad.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Thats a quick success story what nice pictures let us know more about the gun he used must be something he is proud of.

I will find out more about the gun.  I know he made it years ago and has shot several toms with it.  Here is
the info he gave me along with the pictures.

"The muzzle loader was loaded with 90 grains of double f black powder and 90 grains by volume of number 6 shot.  Shot at 22 steps, a lot of pellets in head and neck.
The bird had a 10 inch beard, only one spur of about 1/2 inch."
