Good shooting Kid! And nice S&W Model 16 in 32 Mag.
Those bring big money nowadays from S&W collectors.
I’ve killed quit a few with a handgun and several with a Rifle.
Never like hunting them with shotguns, like most do during Spring Season. Here in TX, you can shoot them with anything.
I don’t shoot them anymore, unless a friend asks for one to deep fry Cajun Style, as I don’t like to eat them anymore.
They eat a lot of grasshoppers here, and taste nasty, IMO.
The only turkey I eat anymore, are the Butterball store bought ones at Thanksgiving. Or Swanson Hungry Man TV Dinners. 😬
