I wasn't quite as successful. Opening morning, 6:30 am, had a nice tom come off the roost right to me, 30 yds., hit him with a 3 1/2" Hevi-Shot Magnum Blend load and rolled him A$$ over teakettle. He never moved, i got up slowly, strutting with out re-loading to go get my prize. My prize saw otherwise and got up running like a scared fox in a forest fire! By the time I racked another shell in the 835, all I saw was tail feathers going over the hill. Never did get him.
Moral of the story, don't count your Turkeys before they hatch!
