America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

First shotgun I ever used. The model 37 in 12g. It belongs to my uncle. Harvested my first ducks and pheasants with it. He let me borrow it when I was 10 years old.
After I received a Springfield Model 67 pump 12g with vented rib for my 12th birthday, my uncle asked for his Model 37 to be returned.
He's never used it since. Not having any children of his own, I sure hope he leaves that thing to me when he departs this mortal existence.
Thanks for displaying the picture. Sure brings back some memories from my youth.

One reason I use the old single barrel is because it takes me back to when I was a Kid and a Teen. I have many shotguns but like the old ones every now and then, because they work just as well now as they did 50 or more years ago.

Something wrong here, you killed a gobbler with a 2 3/4" shell and a standard full choke !!  Everyone knows it takes a 3.5" shell & a $50 choke tube.

Forgot to mention I had to beat him over the head with a big rock after shooting him with a standard rabbit load. He didn't last long because i invited him to supper. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/bea175/Spring%20Turkey%20Fixins_zpsnjiczsws.jpg)

Awesome! I don't mind a rainy day in the woods. You don't have to get up as early, they hang in the fields, and you can be quiet as a mouse!
Congrats!!

Yumm! Please post your recipe. I usually just bake my birds, but your plate looks very good.
Good work. The birds out here are usually very quiet in the rain. They explode as soon as he sky starts to clear.

Congrats on your Tom Turkey. Please make sure you clean that shotgun thoroughly. I might be able to convince you to sell it to me some day.

Good work. The birds out here are usually very quiet in the rain. They explode as soon as he sky starts to clear. Soak in salt water for a few hours cut the breast in strips, fill gallon bag full of seasoned flour and add black pepper and fully coat the strips in the bag, then get the oil in the skillet hot enough to bake the coating on the meat as soon as you drop it in the oil and fry to completely done and brown.

That's why I use an old 30" F&M double. They pattern great, and I like the choice of chokes for those close encounters. I have a CE grade fox 26" bbls F&IC that is ideal, but I only take it on flat country. I fall alot in the mtns. Use a $350 Fulton by LC smith.
