Looks like a musket pistol, but you’d be the best outfitted pirate with that gun. You could substitute a turkey for a parrot on your shoulder.
I hunted hard on my week off last week to kill a turkey. Couldn't seal the deal. I hunted a lot of public ground and got an invite from a buddy to hunt a farm.
One WMA I hunted has historical pretty decent harvest numbers year to year. Another that has very little harvest historically. At the first I stayed for 2 days and chased one gobbler for a half mile or more. I would call and he would turn and gobble and keep going. Come to see he had 3 hens he was trying to keep up with. Still, I followed and called and he fanned and gobbled. After trying to cut them off and hurry to get in front of them I lost track. As for the birds I had roosted the night before, well.....2 kids spent the night in the parking area and beat me to them. They were polite and decided there was no need to step on their toes.
At the other WmA, I can see why there was very little harvest historically. Not set up all that great for turkeys. We did see one hen.
It was a fun week and I had a great time exploring areas I'd never been. Just wish I coulda come home with a longbeard....

Sat out in the blind calling about 3 hours this afternoon. The only turkey I saw was on the trail camera about an hour before I arrived of course. I know I was not there at optimal time but I’m not done.
One of our members will be along to share a story of his uncle in law's grandpa that was a pirate.
Biden on this forum now??
Just a story teller. He is more like Huck Finn!
Biden cant put a sentence together well enough to tell a story.
As an update to the 410 pistol debate, I still haven’t got an answer from the game warden on the legality, but the barrel I was looking at on the SSK website is now showing out of stock. Oh well, it wasn’t a this year concern anyway, and it may be a non issue for me by next year anyway.
I wasn’t hunting, was working.. but saw a big Tom walking around cattle fields near Watonga today. Lots of snakes sunning on and crossing the gravel roads too
Got the beard and spurs preserved for posterity.
