My dad bowhunts for turkey and Mom uses a 16 guage...they are 76 and 73 years old. Dad calls for Mom the first few days of the season.....she always gets the biggest turkey ! She is very tiny, so when she brings these birds out of the woods, they drag the ground! She even won the Biggest Turkey Contest down there a couple of times....really ticks off the local guys, especially my dad! One year she killed a 22 lb. on the first day and Dad got two with a bow that year (accidentally shot right through one and got a second....shhhh!)
