    Default Turkey Hunting?

    Just curious what shotgun and load is everybody using this Turkey season?

    I'm using a Mossberg 835 with a 3" Winchester Supreme Turkey Load. I'm also using a H&S Extra Full turkey choke. It seems to shoot 10 yards better than the Mossberg choke and with much less recoil. Not bad for under $30! I actually hit a plastic coke bottle yesterday at 50 yards with about 20 pellets in the bottle! I have never fired over 35 YDS. at an actual turkey!

    I'm using my old Remington O/U boomstick in 12g. Also using Winchester 2 3/4" shells, #4 shot. The birds I shoot are like me, Fat and Slow...

    I have an old Stevens Turkey 12 ga. barrel is about 6' long so you can reach out and touch one.

    Tukeys up here are sneaky MoFo's.

    Wasn't bad at all with a turkey out infront of me! pics as promised.













    spent about 6 hours total in the field that day, watched him for the majority of the hunt. Honestly one of the coolest experiences of my life, watched him strut the entire way in. Tried to film the hunt but the tripod fell apart on me so I didn't get the kill shot. One shot one turkey down just as it should be, used the factory full choke. 7 inch beard, 1 inch spurs not bad for my FIRST ONE!
