Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Thanks guys, I'm still pumped. I was debating whether or not to have a full mount done, but decided to go with a fan mount, so I'm preping the fan, beard, and spurs, and will hopefully get a nice display mount out of it.

Jmbuckhunter, the cannon weighs ~10.5lbs. It's such a heavy long gun, you don't actually feel much more recoil in it than my 12g. However, in "normal" circumstances, pulling both triggers, I'm sure I would have felt it
