With a Bess you could either shoot or bayonet the turkey. Are you more into the historical representation of the gun or wanting to scratch an itch for a smoothbore?
I am more of the itch scratching type. I'm not going to play dress-up. There is something about the idea of chunkin' a .75" ball at a deer that intrigues me. Once that's done, I hope to take a gobbler's head off. This is one of those projects I hope to make gradual, slow progress over the next decade.
