Spring turkey season opens Wednesday April 21 this year. How many are going out? What shotgun/choke/sighting system/turkey loads are you using?
I changed things up this spring. I added a new Carlson`s BIP extended 0.655 choke and patterned it in my Browning BPS NWTF 12 gauge, with the 3" Federal 3rd Degree. The Federal 3rd Degree is 5,6, and 7 shot, with the #7 shot being TSS. I shot out to 50 yards and had a great killing pattern even out to 50. My buddy said that at 20 yards it would have decapitated the turkey. I bought a Tru-Glo Gobble Stopper red-dot to put on my turkey gun, but I`m waiting for Optics Planet to finally get the AimTech shotgun saddle in, so I can mount this. In the meantime, I`ll be using the Hi-Viz, Tri-Viv sighting system I`ve used for years.
I won`t get out probably until the second week of season, and I`ve scheduled April 28, 29, and 30th off work to hunt.
Best of luck to any going out, and I hope you`ll stop and comment on your hunting set up and where you`ll be hunting.
