Back in December or January I posted a WTB for a 28 ga to kill a turkey with. I've taken gobblers with 10,12,16,20 and 410. All that remained was the 28. I generous member here sold me his with the understanding I would sell it back to him once I got my bird. Today was our opening day and this dumb one obliged by strutting in to 15 yards for me. I could not have written a better opening day script. Now I need to start looking for a muzzle loader. Or maybe an air bow? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PrZx13pY/69B365CB-2E31-4602-B7B1-F7863ADD2298.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/FFwzd5Rh/4E49BB49-DB4A-4EA4-A65B-25611BD62D86.jpg)
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Nice work!
I suggest the ML, a smalbore rifle if legal there.
While coming out of the woods this morning I got a call from my orthopedist’s nurse with a date for my knee job, so it looks like I’m done this year. Now I have all this crap to put away……
What fresh Hell is this?

Muzzleloading for turkey is a lot of fun, did it for years with a 10ga SxS. Give it a try!

Way to go, congratulations
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Thanks all. A muzzle loader is definitely on my short list for next year, Then maybe an air gun or air bow once I figure out if they are legal here.

You still have the 24 and 32 gauges you can fit in there!
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

Had a 56 cal smooth bore for a T/C Renegade or Hawkin. But you already know what a 28ga will do...
