Once again I decided to take my dad's 100+ year old model 97 to the turkey woods. Second year in a row. Second shot in two years resulted in a second bird. I've been hunting turkeys since the early 80s with a variety of shotguns. Mossberg 500s, Remington 870s, both with full/extra full chokes and 3" magnums. Nuttin' seems to hit 'em as hard as this long piped, full choked '97 with 2 3/4" #5 pheasant loads. This morning's bird was @30 yards and it was like you hit him in the head with a maul. Was 19 degrees when I left the jeep @ 4:45 this morning. The pictures were taken @ 6:05. Yep....we hunt turkeys in the snow here in Wisconsin.
