Joe - Do you shoot many turkeys on the wing? I don't think I've ever met a turkey hunter who did. More power to you if you do.

Reminds me of a hunt for smaller birds with my Brit Ricky about 15 years ago. We're deep in the woods, he's out of range, which is a big no-no with all my dogs. Suddenly I hear him and a huge FLUSH. It must have been at least a dozen turkeys flushed and flying towards me. Some at 6 feet up,others in between that and 20. All of 'em BIG and flying at me like something from the stone age! They looked like B-17's!

Wild stuff. I like the looks of your gun and Buster a lot. Do you ever worry about turkey attacking/defending with its talons against your dog? Just that I've heard a story or 2 like that over the years.
