ATbuckhunter Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 What gun do you plan to use for turkey season? Also what shells do you plan on using this season? I'm going to be using a Mossy 535 with hevi shot mag blend shells. Post some pics of you have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Mossberg 835 loaded with Winchester Double X 3 1/2" #5. Although I picked up some of those Long beard loads last year, but never patterned them in my gun. I might this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'll be shooting these again... Out of my $50 New England Firearms single shot, full choked 12ga.... hopefully while wearing my favorite hunting shorts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Never hunted turkey! Going to pattern my shotgun and go out with a few friends this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillet Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Mossberg 835 loaded with Winchester Double X 3 1/2" #5. Although I picked up some of those Long beard loads last year, but never patterned them in my gun. I might this year. Exact same gun and load, it wrecks 'em! I'm sticking with the Winchesters.

ants Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Exact same gun and load, it wrecks 'em! I'm sticking with the Winchesters. Thats why I never tried the Long beards. The pattern from the Double X #5's (and #4's) is sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNY Bowhunter Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Just didn't pattern very well in my gun. Lots of people love them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Rem 870 supermag, 23" rs barrel, Hevi-shot .662 choke. Probably gonna use the mag blends again. Edited March 16, 2015 by Terry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Out of my $50 New England Firearms single shot, full choked 12ga.... hopefully while wearing my favorite hunting shorts. You're the man Wooly, no recoil pad. My NEF is possibly a newer or upgraded model (Pardner) in 12ga, 3 1/2", camo with an Xtra full choke tube. It has a modest recoil pad. I've had a bruised shoulder a few times from mine! See it also comes in a 10ga, 3 1/2"mag. That dude is definitely not for the faint of heart! Anyone that has shot a single barreled shotgun knows what I mean! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
