Shotgun people

[Aragorn243]

I havn't used one of my shotguns in well over a decade. Looks like that will change this year. My kids expressed an interest in hunting turkeys for the first time. I haven't hunted them seriously since my college days and used a rifle then but they changed the law this year, not sure why. One faction complaining too much about the other I suppose stating safety concernes. But get this, nearly all the turkey hunting accidents that occur, occur in the spring when it's always been shotgun only so I'm not buying this argument.

I used to hunt pheasants and rabbits when I was younger, but with my dad and uncles getting older, they stopped and I didn't want to go alone. Never took the girls. So my hunting has been squirrels and deer nearly exclusively for the last 30 years.

They don't have shotguns so I either have to come up with three or they have to buy their own. I have my turkey gun and a youth model pump 20 gauge and a youth model single shot 20 gauge, both which would work but not idea for adult turkey hunting.

I don't know that I even go out to 40 yards with my 12 gauge and it has full choke and is designed for long range turkey and goose shooting. Squirrels are tough to kill at that range and I'm using 4 and 5 shot.
