So its almost turkey time....

and I was wondering what loads you gunners are shooting. I have a Remington 11-87 semi-auto, with some sort of turkey choke on it.

I hear lots of good things about 5's and 6's and everything else.

I was thinking squirrel shot as well. will that work?

i use 4 shot on turkeys.

but nubby prefers a good ol' facial load

I typically use 4 or 6 shot but have used as small as 8 to kill turkey.

Ok but I want something that takes out the whole herd in one shot.

85 grain slick trick.

how about a bunch of nails and a 1/4-stick of dynamite in a section of steel pipe?


I HAVE heard of folks spreasing corn around an old bedspring mattress, supposedly they'll peck in there till sone actually get snared by the head......

anal rape is ok, explosives for turkeys crosses a line molesting fellow hunters and women form the retirement home and sheep does not?

So is anybody actually out hunting thurkey's yet or is everyone still waiting for their season to open? I picked up some 3" mag ,12 gauge, #5's this weekend just incase I can't get one in close enough to put on Thunderhead through but I've still got week's to wait

still waiting here in Ohio until when I say its time.

Still waiting. Opens the 15th here. I hate waiting.

I'm gonna pass on the spring season and get a tag this fall to shoot one in front of my father-in-law's birdfeeder......

the kids can sit in the blind w/ me, or if they get bored they can go inside and play till the birds come to the feeder and then watch and wait for one to get shot......

damn I wish I could have posted that on At for the ethics cops.......
