I am pretty much finished with turkey hunting except for the fall, when I think they are better eating. Most of my early turkeys were killed with a rifle, and it is still my favorite, but I began hunting Pa. after I retired and in the spring they required a shotgun. I was shocked at how far a load of shot killed turkeys dead. I used it there in the fall also, it was pure murder. I was grouse hunting one morning and my golden, Joy busted a flock of turkeys one crossed the old road I was on and I shot quickly. A trap load of 7 1/2 from and IC choke killed it stone dead. Just my experience!!
