Ha! You mean you actually squeezed off that 3.5" piece of dynamite and didnt even have to call Medflight or even take a trip to the ER? You must be crazy or one tough SOB!!......๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚....Congrats on your gobbler. I carried My Henry one day so far this Spring but did not kill a turkey that morning, I will take it on a few more hunts before season is over but My main turkey shotgun is an M2 12ga with a 21" barrel.....Good hunting all ๐Ÿ‘.....Hb

I've taken two gobblers with my new Henry turkey gun and Long Beard #5's so far. It seems to be a lethal combination. Still very pleased with the Henry.

I want nothing to with a light weight gun and heavy weight shells. I just can't take the recoil like I use to, I guess 2 shoulder surgeries will do that.
A 20 ga or 28 might not be too bad.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Thinking hard about the Henry Turkey gun but we shoot mostly 20 ga so also thinking about the Henry 20 - a little less $, shoots 3" shells, with the right choke would be pretty fine I think! Any thoughts?
