Me and "little sureshot" took this gobbler this morning, 5/4/2018. He had short spurs but an 11 inch beard.
I built "little sureshot" for hunting turkeys and general shooting 15 years ago. She has a Rice Premium B profile .40 caliber rifled barrel, LH Large Siler Flintlock, Davis set triggers, Iron furniture set in a Issac Haines type stock. My load was .390 round ball, .018 Pillow Ticking patch lubed with Canola oil and 60 grains of 3fg.
I shot the bird at 35 yards coming to me, so there was no range advantage to the harvest.

It takes it to another level when all you guys/gals go back in time with flints/re-curves ect. Nice to see! Congratulations on a fine hunt and method of hunting.
