Big Browns Report post Posted April 25, 2017 I've killed a lot of birds using a 12 gauge with a modified choke and 4 or 5 shot. I've also killed them using duck shot. If your close enough bird shot will even do the trick. I switch to a full or turkey choke when the birds are holding up so I can take longer shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted April 25, 2017 I have a Mossberg 835 ultra mag with an ultra full turkey choke I use it with federal 3 1/2 inch mag copper plated 4 shot I have dropped turkeys out to 100yards You're welcome to it if you need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted April 25, 2017 Muzzleloaders are legal in ND so I use this one!! My dad killed his at 298 yards with it last weekend and I killed this one at 168 on Saturday! I try to call them in but if they hold up I airmail one to em. Last years was at 6 yards with a head shot. As far as shotguns go, the smaller the shot then better. It's an odds game. Heavyshot 7's will go clear through a turkeys head at 70 yards so keep your shot small and your numbers up! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted April 25, 2017 I have a Rem 11-87 SPT-Turkey (thumbhole stock) and use a Cabela's Hevi Shot extra full turkey choke for it. I have two boxes left of the Remington Wingmaster and Hevi-shot (before they sold the Hevi-Shot name) 3.5" #4s. Last bird I shot at 38 yards dropped straight in its tracks and was all kinds of jelly-head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MT_Sourdough Report post Posted April 25, 2017 I am new to hunting birds (of any kind) with a shotgun. Kill't plenty grouse with sticks and stones growing up. I used shotguns in a previous occupation. Otherwise I am entirely green to all this and ,hence, might be a sucker to .marketing. With that said, I picked up a Browning BPS 12 gauge and a Winchester Long Beard XR choke. The load I will use is the Winchester Long Beard XR 3" 1200 fps, 1 3/4oz #5 shot.

Arizona Griz Report post Posted April 26, 2017 I am going to go with my old trusty Spanish made AYA Matador 10 gauge SXS with 30" full choke barrels and #2's in 3 1/2" shells. Should be a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted April 26, 2017 A 35 year old Mossberg 500 with a Primos Tight Wad choke and Winchester Long Beard 12ga #4. It was originally a 28" modified barrel. Sometime in the early 80 I bought a 26" vent rib barrel with screw in chokes and sent it out and had it backbored and the forcingcone lengthened. Added a mercury supressor in the tube and a mechanical recoil device in the stock and adjustable sights. Ain't purty, in fact I did a hand painted Realtree paint job with model airplane paint with a little brush before companies offered camo stocks. Works for me.
