Turkeys with a levergun

Shrapnel · Post by **Shrapnel** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 2:53 pm

Two of my favorite things are turkeys and a model 94 25-35. I have killed all sorts of game with the 25-35 and it isn't even deer rated. It sure did kill this turkey...

Nice looking bird and a nice looking rifle. Congratulations.

Shrapnel: You are fortunate to live in a state that allows the use of a rifle during turkey season. That's a handsome Winchester. I'd love to be able to use my Remington Model 14 pump in .25 Remington on a turkey. What bullet were you using?

I figured I could use my 45 colt for deer and turkeys. MN says no.

I load a 117 grain round nose with 3031 powder to replicate a factory load. It has worked on all sorts of game.

I thought this was going to be a documentary of militant turkeys!

Nice gobbler! And I would really like to get my mitts on an excellent condition 25-35 like that.

Don't see them around these parts much.

Nice job

Wander if the 125 grain Hornandy in 30-30 could turn the same trick

The 25-35 is my favorite rifle caliber for just plain bumming around in the woods when I'm not looking for anything in particular. Yours is gorgeous. Nice turkey too!

Shootin' turk with a rifle here in Nebraska is a no no also.
What would that 25 do on a squirrel?

He didn't shoot that bird. He skirred him to death since he ain't wearin' camo.

This is what it will do on an antelope...

Why wait? I have a bunch of 80 grain cast bullets so I can hunt rabbits all winter. These guns were meant to shoot, not sit in a safe somewhere.

OH it wont be sitting in no safe, theres steel, paper,coyotes & PDs
to shoot, dont shoot bunnys i leave them so i can shoot the yote
while hes hunting wabbits

Sweet! T'was it a head shot? Good shootin' regardless! And where's all that full camo I hear you need to wear when turkey hunting? Was this a "posed" photo op?
