    Arkansas turkey

    Killed my first black powder turkey this morning. I was a bit bummed that I hadn't finished my flintlock fowler for this years season but I didn't want to rush it and cobble it up so I dug out my old pedersoli 12 gauge. It had been collecting dust for the past 5 or 6 years but last week I dug it...
