Gobblers! - Rick Mulhern - 04-19-2015

I dodged bad weather and 'whupnaders' for four days but i finally got my quota of Ole Toms! Two heaviest birds I've ever killed and that's a few! I never cease to be amazed at the SUPER VISION these dudes have but I guess when you've got every varmit in the world trying to eat you the vision is the only thing that keeps the species on earth!

No...that's not a BP shotgun! Wish I had one...but this one works well! This one 'hung up' at 52 yards but i shot him full in the face with #4 shot from this 3 1/2" Mag and he dropped like he'd been pole-axed!

My two grandsons with me. Connor left, Britton right. Take note guys....you'll hear these two names again in football because I do think both will wind up as QBs for LSU! Both excellent hunters and way above average rifle shooters! Their Dad has raised them well!
