When I fished in Canada a few years back it was early spring during the spawn and almost every big female we caught had fresh wounds and old scars on them. But I agree the eagle option is way cooler! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful fish! Most of the time wounds on pike are from breeding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely, the new shells and chokes makes 50yds what 35 was 15-20yrs ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a good pattern and would certainly kill a turkey, I used heavy shot for a long time but in my opinion there are better options these days. I have a couple of 20ga setups that will probably come close to doubling the pellets in a 10” circle at 40yds than your pattern. Again not saying yours is bad because it’s not just trying to explain to you why some don’t shoot the heavy shot anymore. Honestly it’s all hair splitting a turkey can only get so dead and it really only takes 1 pellet to right spot to knock one down. If you’re not shooting ranges past 35-40yds about any turkey load made will do the job. My problem with some people is that they either don’t know or forgot how crappy our patterns were 20years ago compared to what some of us are getting today yet we still killed plenty of birds.

Many older and even some modern guns don’t have removable chokes. They generally have what is called a choked barrel, the barrel tapers down to a tighter constriction than the 12ga .73” Other than some military/ law enforcement and now home defense markets that are made with a “cylinder bore” most all shotguns have a choked barrel.

Glad you’re ok Bill, cars are easily fixed or replaced your health is way more important. Get revenge this fall and fill some DMP’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
