    Toby's shotgun bags a few turkeys for Christmas

    For the last 2 years I've been looking after the 870. Never really having a place to shoot it other than at the range.

    I have been lucky enough to have a goat spot and a turkey spot on the same road.

    Today I went out for a quick walk for some Christmas turkey.

    I drove to the end of the farmers land in my wagon. Got all my gear on, loaded up some lead falcon no.3's and off I went!

    As I was putting the electronic ear muffs on my neck I noticed this black thing moving near the water trough. Thought I would have a better look at it and blimey. A family of 4 turkeys was crapping in the cattle water!

    Sneaked through the thigh high grass and popped my head up. Bam, all of a sudden they were 20 paces away.

    Whacked the muffs on and shouldered the ranger. One was unlucky enough to have popped its head out of the grass and got well ventilated.

    Quick as a flash another tried to leg it in the air. A quick pump and a tiny bit of leading and it went down as gracefully as a turkey can.

    Sadly the few months old chicks must have gotten a stray pellet and needed finishing off.

    I plucked the feathers, breasted and legged them pretty easily.



    Yes the shotgun had an empty 5 round tube mag. And the bolt was back and safety on.

    The turkey's are aging in my parents place and I'm off for a kaimai deer all going to plan!

    270 is a sparsely totient number, the largest integer with 72 as its totient

    What the fuck did you keep the feet for?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That is no endorsement. Over there they would eat the puckered poo hole from a rabid bat.
