bear carver Report post Posted April 18, 2009 Hi All, Hope every one is having a great Turkey season, mine was very good as you see from the above photos. I had these other ones on my camera. Jim found 4 more elk sheds and I found 1. For those of you who like the tech stuff!! Knight TK 2000 muzzle loader, 12 gauge with 120 grain load of powder and 2 oz of #4 shot. Hit the bird at about 42 yards with amazing force, kind of think maybe it would reach out a bit further but I like them inside of 50 at least. I am so hooked on the muzzle loading, this is my second turkey with it and Jim got his last year with it also over in AZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
