Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Pictures of your turkey getter...

To each their own but I personally never cared for the Steadygrip/pistol grip on a shotgun. Carried by the sling on my shoulder that protruding grip is digging into my kidney or clipping my funny bone on the inside of my elbow, catching on clothing when taking the gun off the shoulder and in general just being a pain in the azz. The shotgun no longer handles like a shotgun. Just not my thing, but good on those who like them.

They were designed for Combat shotguns.

At times Turkey hunting can seem like Combat.....more than once I've wished for a hand grenade to pitch over the hill.

That bird was a little over 22 lbs. biggest body I’d taken till then. 2 years ago I took a bigger bird, a little over 24 on zebco scales, with a Franchi Affinity. Last round I fired out of it because a friend wanted it and I had just bought a Browning Gold Fusion. Had been looking for a good one for a while. Maybe good fortune will smile on it this year.

But what I really want to see is my wife get one with her Ithaca lever action single shot .410. Her Dad got it for her way pre-teen. It patterns #9 TSS well at 30 yards. We came very close last year but y’all know how turkeys can be when you’re trying to get one for someone else. Best of luck to all this season. May you all have glorious sunrises to remember and friends to share the memories.

My point doesnt mean I only have a few....lol.

Winchester Model 12 16 gauge 1927 manufacture

Currently been mostly using this one. Stoeger 3500 with factory extra full choke. It's a little heavy, but slams birds well.




Bouught this old 1300 used about 1990. It's still one of my favorites.

Nice birds y’all.

Always had a soft spot for those old laminated 1300's. A full pound lighter to carry than the 870 Turkey of the same era. If it's got the NWTF engraving on it, it'll demand a pretty fat price tag these days.

Nice gun !!!

Thanks. Unfortunately this one doesn’t have the engraving. My brother bought one with engraving not long after I got mine. I love how light they are, except when I pull the trigger (grin).

Thankfully, turkey guns are "carry a lot......shoot a little" kinds of deals.

No free lunches that is for sure, pay me now or pay me later.....

To each his own. I've never had much interest in high-tec tacti-cool stuff.

Once you try black, you never go back.

prairiedogshooter for the win👍👍👍👍

Very nice prairie dog shooter! Very nice...

just a generic 87o youth 20 gauge 21" barrel with a remington x-tra full tube and 3" winchester double XX #6 with a beartooth slip on pad for the LOP.

Old school 20g youth mossberg


Also have a benelli SBE2 steady stock 24”. But haven’t been using nearly as much thanks to tss and a good 20g


I’ve used a 20g for a long time honestly. Even before tss. Heavy shot worked pretty good out of it and gun was lighter in the mountains to carry.

I always have a couple gallon sized zip lock bags along in case I find some morels... My buddy's family land I hunt has a lot of them and his mom, the property owner, loves them. I always make sure to get a bag, or 2, for her.

My turkey gun is still evolving.....

An established turkey hunter once told me, "you'll break that baby sight off!", or something to that effect... lol! Looking good LFC, we'll have you shooting fairy dust in no time! Hahahaha!

LOL, come to the dark side, we have cookies......
