Pop's Turkey

My father-in-law, Ernest Cook, has been muzzleloading longer than I have. Ernest, known to the grandkids and to many at the hunting camp as Pop, got to go to Kansas with friends and hunt turkeys last weekend. He took his Kit Ravenshear English sporting gun with it's 20 gauge smooth barrel and popped this gobbler. This is a great little flintlock half-stock with a hooked breech and a rifled barrel that can be switched out with the smooth bore. I've seen him shoot a deer between the eyes with the rifled barrel. I think this is his first turkey with a flintlock. Way to go, Pop.
