We have the same one bird a day rule. Couldn't tell you how many times I've killed a bird and sat and watched another stand there gobbling or in one case, two of them gobbling. I normally hunt alone but I have doubled up with a friend of mine once. That was comical as we were slightly apart (each leaning against different trees) but trying to figure out who was shooting which bird. I ended up telling him to shoot and just hoped that the bird I was aiming at didn't fall over dead. Worked out that time!
I typically hunt alone but I do remember once hunting with a buddy we were surprised by a close gobble and just quick set up. Once we were set up I remember thinking, well we did not put a plan together at all so if he comes in I am not sure how long I'll let him stand there before my buddy gets the hint I want him to shoot LOL. It can get crazy quick. Now if I am hunting with him he is always up first.
That a double beard?!? Or just how it layed? Either way that’s awesome!Caught up with this fella on Friday afternoon

I appreciate it. It is a double. I didn’t even realize it til I got back to the house and went to start cleaning him
Yea every barrel pattern a little different. I have 2 on my mossy. 1 is a stock 28 and the other is a custom 21. They both shoot good but the 21 shoots a little bigger even pattern which i like. Its not a carlsons. I forget the smith that makes em. My buddy has the same gun with the 28 and it shoots a little different qith the same choke.
I pretty much just Bow hunt turkey's now but when I was seriously into run and gunnin', rather than change my barrels out completely, I had the forcing cones lengthened on both my stock 24" Ithaca Model 37 Turkeyslayer barrel and the Stock 26" 1187 barrels (but not at the same time). I believe the Ithaca was already back bored to some extent as well but what I found by just doing this, I could really shoot a lot of different varieties of copper or nickle plated lead shot very well. It really opened up possibilities. My favorite load out of the Ithaca was the old Activ #5's. The Remington always through the copper plated Duplex 4x6 loads extremely well. I added a Kick's Coyote Choke really developed for the "T" size shot loads but this combo patterns everything very very well for me up to and including 4 buck.
