I went out for a couple hours this afternoon and one started gobbling pretty close. I set up and called but he didn't come in. :bash:

That is a great story all around.  Congrat's to your Dad.  He sure looks like he had a great hunt by the big smile on his face.  John

more info on his gun for Buckhorn2

"It is a 12 gauge built from a barrel blank that had to be shortened to 36 inches, polished, breeched, have the sight made, rib installed and wedge and loop made, and browned.  It is cylinder bore, no choke,  so I use a plastic shot cup.  I use 90 grain of black powder 2 ff, and 90 or 100 grain volume of number 6 or 5 lead shot.
The stock was a maple board I bought and carved.  The side plate, butt stock and trigger guard I welded up.  The Siler lock and trigger are boughten. The forearm cap is melted and poured tire weight.

I have shot I believe 6 turkeys with it."
