Well check another species off the list with grampa’s 870 Wingmaster. Who says you can’t kill a turkey with an old shotgun using a modified barrel and 2 3/4 #5 shells haha. He wasn’t the biggest in the woods or even my target bird but he is my first with a shotgun.

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Congrats Looks like that old gun has been well taken care of I try to take care of it but it is a tool and it gets used a lot. There are some wear marks and whatnot but that’s what it is meant for.

Great job my friend. Beautiful photo too.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.
