My first turkey

My first after 6 years of hunting. I harvested a 15-1/2 lb Jake Saturday at Roush Lake. This is my first turkey. What a thrill when the smoke cleared and he was flopping right where I shot him. I used my JAS COOPER 10 bore original SxS. I had just set-up after an unproductive morning. I called 3 short yelps twice and set my box call down and had half a ham sandwich. I was chewing the last bite when I heard a very close gobble. I picked up my gun when I saw the birds coming towards me. I did not take the time to put my mouth call in. I positioned myself to face the birds and cocked old JAS COOPER. They came straight in going out of sight for a few minutes when they crossed the head of a ravine. When they got to about 50 yards the lead bird went into strut when he spotted my decoys. When they did not react to him he started to move off to my right getting behind some small trees. The other bird came closer but did not offer a shot. He decided the follow the gobbler. I felt he was about 38 or 40 yards out. My confidence ends at about 35 yards. I decided to take him if he gave me a chance. When I stepped it off it was 42 paces. There were 6 visible pellets in the head neck area. When I cleaned him there were a few in the breast and thigh.
I used 1-3/4 oz hard #6 shot and same volume of 2fg Goex.
