Fantastic looking trophies ,Indian. :) Very nice indeed.Your camo looks nice too.What barrel length is that Extrema's?Only heard good things about that gun.

What are you planning,if you already haven't, to do with the birds? Roast them or curried?Yum yum.Thanks for the pics.

Very good one dude. I've been wanting to go Turkey hunting in quite a while. Good choice on the Xtrema2, my first shotgun was an Xtrema. I did well with it.

Congrats again... What did you use to call them in ?

thanks everyone for your compliments :) my friend helped me in calling them and dont know its name exactly.hevi shot is far more superior than lead and winchester also makes them.they are expensive compared to steel or lead shot and cost around $4 a shell.
