Having taken 70-80 turkeys (we are allowed 6 per season here in Northern Idaho) with only shotgun or bow allowed, I am one of the "more is better" proponents.

My results with 2 3/4 12-ga were OK, but there were too many birds I didn't get...just needed more pellets going out.

I upgraded years ago to a 12 ga 3" and really like the 4/6 duplex loads, with lost birds diminishing to only one.

Only went out twice with a bow, got one tom and one coyote who was sneaking my decoy.
