2.5 oz of TSS #8s....that's a knat swarm of pellets.

That's a really nice SX4. Really nice.

I'm sorry, of course you're right and other peoples experiences and opinions are wrong. In your words, "just dumb." Don't care to argue, I'm just interested in pictures of dead gobblers and such along with cool guns and experiences from hunters that care to share. I missed your pictures of dead critters with your shotguns?

Not me lamenting the weight and reliabilty of gas guns when exposed to forest dust and rain. As far as other peoples experiences, that would be more better directed at LFC. As far as pictures of dead critters, I have few and I'm not in any of them but one, and its old.

GuideGun, what's it like touching off that 2.5oz artillery shell? I picked up a Benelli Nova, years ago, when Galyons was blowing them out for around $200. Figured it would be a nice backup gun. I fired 1 12ga 3-1/2" 2-1/4oz turkey shell out of it and thought I had loosened every tooth in my head! Lol! I ended up giving it to a guy I didn't like! Haha!

MOGC, does the predator decoy work as good as they say it does? I've coyote hunted for years without one, but they have my curiosity now...

You'll never hear me say the little 20ga 870 doesn't recoil with these 3" TSS shells, because it does! Even with the "recoil reduction" spring system the Knoxx Blackhawk stock has in it. I'm not recoil sensitive, but that doesn't mean I don't feel it!

Over the years, I've carried every type of shotgun turkey hunting. Only exception is a bolt action. And talk about a pig! I carried a Remington SP-10 around for years! But what a thunder stick that thing was!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. What makes all of this so neat to me, is that you can make whatever you want to out of it!

So whatever you use and however you use it, enjoy!

3 years ago I thought my hunting days were over. Busted up my spine so bad, thought I'd never walk again let alone hunt. But a great surgeon and a lot of PT and I'm back at it. I don't get around as good as I used to, but I still get around and I'm still hunting! And loving every precious minute of it!

Could not agree more.

By the way hardest I have ever been hit by a turkey gun was a Mossberg 835 3.5" 2 1/4 of shot. I am not that pissed off at anything to do that again

We can if it makes anyone feel better.

My BPS 10 gauge (Geraldine) with a 2 1/4 oz load is THE most absolutely hateful gun I have ever pulled the trigger on. And I've done it hundreds of times. I still hate it. I've shot multiple Mossberg 835's.......... .375's.........416's........... I ran an entire box of 20 500 grain handloads through a .458 Win Mag in one short stint at a sit-down bench off sandbags. In a T-shirt. Geraldine has split my face open TWICE. It's a combination of raw free recoil and gun fit. But Geraldine is the foulest motherhuncher I've ever fired.

I went to pattern 3 shells one day at a bench. All factory Winchester 2 1/4 oz loads...........a 4, a 5 and a 6. I shot two and felt like I had a hatchet buried in my forehead. Never did fire the 3rd shell.

My Remington SP10 10g had way less felt recoil than my Browning BPS 3 1/2" at the time. Sweetest patterning gun I think I ever had. 11 lbs of weight and that gas system ate up the recoil.

Dean, a motion decoy is fantastic for bobcats and fox and about 50/50 on coyotes. For coyotes about half the time it will spook them off and they will absolutely circle downwind if they haven't already. That is an age, dominance and territory thing.

Thanks MOGC.

I saw a Marlin bolt action 12 gage today at my LGS has A 36" barrel, has that cool factor going for it! If it was a 16 gage I'd have bought it!

Was that their goose gun?

There's one of those in 10 gauge sitting around here, somewhere.

I have a Marlin Super Goose 10 gauge with 36" barrel sitting around my place too! I would love to have some chokes put in it so I can take it goose hunting again. I killed my first turkey and greater Canadian goose with it.

Was it H&R that offered the "Long Tom"? Single shot 10ga (?) with a long barrel. Actually saw 1 at my LGS and put some fingerprints all over it. Thought about it, went back a couple days later and it was gone.

Yeah
Just sold mine this last part of last year
Should have probably called it a turkey mower.
No place to go anymore. Haven't had a
turkey place in a decade +
No sense in maintaining a spider condo
Mine was a NEF, same as a H&R
Had the factory green blob paint scheme.

Couldn't make a photo post
Says too many mega bytes or some such doodoo

Had a 10 gauge side by side the would double fire! Got rid of that, hammered turkeys though. We both would be flopping around on the ground. Lol

Bet that would get your attention

Dunno which one to pick honestly???

🤣🤣🤣

I usually use my Beretta 391, seems to work just fine. 😎 I try not to over think it.





Sometimes in the fall i take my Browning 20ga Citori. Hens and jakes are a little easier.
