Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting new shotgun experiment...

You better be lined up at really close range.

If I'm hunting big woods I use a Patternmaster code black goose tube (it measures about .710)...if in hunting big fields I put in a Pattermaster code black turkey I think its .665....either choke in my gun can do the job at 50 yards if need be.

All I hunt is big woods, darn few fields in the national forest here. Early in the year when the woods are open before green up I usually use my trusty old Benelli M1 with either an Indian Creek or a Kick's turkey choke. With Hevi13 6's that old M1S90 has taken more than a few stubborn 50 yard gobblers in the open timber. Late season when things get greened up and bushy, I change out the turkey tube for a flush fit modified or often I'll break out my old 870 with plain modified barrel and 2.75" short magnum Winchester XX #6 loads. Late season in the timber means shots 30 yards and under, many times well under. The old 870 Wingmaster is a sentimental favorite that I have had since I was sixteen. That old shotgun is nearly silver, I have packed it so much as a young hunter I have the bluing nearly gone. It's fun to take it out once in awhile and it handles those sub 35 yard birds great.

I shot many turkey with my Parker .410, anybody can kill a turkey with a 12 ga, takes a real turkey hunter to bag one with a .410, just stupid talk

you never seen what a 3" with #9 will do to a turkey, I have, missing head

So that makes you a super turkey hunter?

never said that did i? you really talk stupid stuff, you really like to bully people on here. one thing for sure I'll forget more than your ever know, you got alot a growing up to do I suppose you can't kill a deer with a 22 long rifle either

i kill turkeys every year with a 410 and #9s

I probably shoot more shotshells in a year than you see, and a good share of them on a trap course. my trap gun has a pair of .655 constriction tubes in it. I wouldnt hesitate to use that gun and those chokes on turkeys



its pretty obvious you're the one who doesnt know Shidt from Shinola, well actuallt thats pretty clear on mist of your replies

I agree LFC think he knows everything but he dont, He probably hunted turkeys in the grocery store

If you shoot enough, things that "can't happen" tends to happen.

I've seen near 100 yard clays get broke, chokes that are "too open/tight" perform and break things at ranges they're not supposed to etc.

I averaged 1100 rounds a week for a couple years and one of the very cool things about sporting clays is that they don't separate the pros from the Joe's. If it's your class you might be squadded with Dave down the street or George Digweed/Andy Duffy/Jon Kruger and THEN you can see what can be done with a shotgun.

who ever told you that or is that something you dreamed up

before my grandson was big enough for a 20 gauge, he killed 3 gobblers (one per year) with his single shot .410.
Then he killed more with his Mothers 20 gauge and then I gave him a Weatherby O/U 12 ga and the beat goes on!
He is now home from college for the holidays and we were joking about the cactus thorns where his last turkey died (this is Texas).


He toted it out to the truck and cleaned it back at the lodge. The Brazos River is back of those trees.

No body told me anything guess you missed the post where I told of the different over and unders I tested for point of impact.

You said "anybody can kill a turkey with a 12 gauge takes a real turkey hunter to kill one with a 410"

I just figured that made you some kind of super turkey hunter....

You know the real McCoy.

Better get you a fow tin if you ever expect to be a real turkey hunter.


All kidding aside....you need to try some 2&3/4" Winchester Roosters #4 or #5 shot with the Shotlock Technology. The #4s shot really good in an old Win.97 I had.

I probably killed more turkeys with.my .410 Parker double than you ever will

you must buy cheap over and unders if you got that much of a point of impact between barrels

If you don't mind me asking you being the real deal turkey man and all..
...

Just how many takeys you kilt with yo Parker foe'tin little feller ?


Are you shooting that magic fairy dust #9 shot through that Paaka....if so are you not concerned about damaging the barrel ?

wow your a angry little boy aren't you, with .410 since I stated hunting in 1960 I would say 20 or 30ish, now with a 12 ga a whole alot more than that, you need to get hunting to catch up and all that with an plain jane Remington 870 with a 30" full barrel with 2 3/4 mags. I bet you would love to own that Parker GH grade .410 foe'tin little feller, but you could afford a fine piece of shotgun history

The way you act I figured you for some young hot headed punk....I guess you're reliving your childhood.

You hunted turkeys since 1960.

That's a long time....where you do all your takey hunting at ?

You being the real deal I figured you'd kilt a truck load or two with that Paa'ka 410....heck I've killed 20 to 30 in one year.

let's see, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida ect , I bet you did kill 20 to 30 in one year you don't even know the exact number. oh BTW you can keep listing your dies, I don't buy from dumb azz clowns
