You don't need all these magnum loads. We've been killing turkeys for years with as little as a 20 guage. I just use the old Browning light 12 modified with 2 3/4 sixes. Never been disappointed.
Wanna pattern them side by side at 50 yards? I'm kidding. I bought the Super Mag because I picked it up used for $170. You don't need 3.5 inch shells for turkey, but its nice to have if you waterfowl or yote hunt with the same gun.
Yeah trust me I know it can be done. I currently hunt with a 20g. But its limited a lot. Its also only 2 3/4th, so hard to find good turkey rounds for and Im pretty much stuck at 30 yards or less. Going with the 12g this time...mostly for the distance. Im not a great turkey hunter...normally only get shots when someone else is calling. So need to make the best of them times..not lose ut cuz the bird got hung up at 45 yards lol.
Why not give yourself the best possible advantage...isnt that why everyone buys the newest fastest hardest hitting bow every year? Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
I shoot an 870 SM and shot 3.5 hevi 6s. Also set up my 870 20ga and hunt with it using hevi 6s in that rig. No pics of the guns on my iPad.
Found some pics. I love my gun with the open rifle sights...havnt found a scope i like yet... Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
I use to lug aroung an 870 Super Mag. I let a buddy borrow it once and had to take out my Benelli Super M1 90 w/ a 18.5 barrell (hevi shot tube and ammo). I have never used anything else since. It's pretty much my go to shotgun for everything now except for geese.
