I just got invited on a Turkey hunt in North Texas.... never shot a turkey, never been any where i hunt. What is the best thing to hunt turkey with? 12 guage with buck shot? Wonder if i should use my 6.8 with TA31DOC ACOG.... bet ya that would be a sweet headshot.

12g 3" or 3 1/2" 4,5,6's -- No buckshot. All headshots with shotguns. It's really exciting. I enjoy calling them in just as much as being the trigger man.

I love to turkey hunt... but I use my bow now a days. I dont get much time to do it though...I usually have to hunt the fall season.

Was there anything left afterwards :?:
Hunted a little it can be exciting. I use a bow mainly for them the guiiolltine is cool.
12 g with 4,5,6's like Jason said you want your tightest (full) choke if not a turkey choke that fits your shotgun.

I was able to make a good shot on the first one so I didn't damage the breasts. The second one, however, was furiously spurring the first one so that made it pretty hard. I blew him to pieces. :lol:

Turkey hunting is one of my favorite things to do. Here turkey turkey. We have about 4 weeks till the opener.

Where it is legal try cast lead bullets with reduced loads in your high power rifles. In most cases it punches a hole through them with little to no meat destruction. I haven't got to shoot turkeys that way but shooting deer with hard cast bullets out of a .44 mag it works well. It does break any bones it connects with but does very little meat damage otherwise.

Does anyone hunt? It's easy to shoot a turkey. But, can you call it within spitting distance?

If it's out of season... I've heard :roll: The 17hmr works really well.

I have a bunch of turkeys on my hunting place. This is a picture of a kid that I taught that kept after me to take him hunting. He was dying to use my 6.8 so I let him. Two gobblers with one shot.

 

[Jamesb74]

Very cool. Seriously if you need help hunting or lease out at reasonable rates let me know. You are not that far away from me.

I hunt for two reasons. Fun & to put food on the table, It's not about sport for me, it's about the means to an end result. Can I get my own food in my time off from work or do I have to work that much harder to go and buy it.

I love pan fried turkey breast!!! (Insert drooling happy face)

A couple more days till the season opens!!!

I called both these birds in under 10yds for her.

That's awesome!!!!

Shot my first turkey this past tuesday morning! I am hooked!

Crappy cell phone pic.....sorry.

 

[kamojo]

WTG!! I've missed two with my bow this year . Never missed one before and I miss two at 15 yards. It's not hard to miss with a guillotine though...atleast that's what I keep telling myself. :lol: DECAPITATION SURE IS FUN.

 

[jasonpeterson]

Congratulations!!! Nice bird!!! What was the spur lengths?
