16ga Only Turkey Kills
16ga Only Turkey Kills
I’m starting this thread for the people that have a passion for turkey hunting with a 16ga turkey gun!!! Since we have TSS loads to hunt with now we have made the 16ga a great turkey gun!!! So, lets see some turkey pics taking with the shotgun referred to in the good ole days of quail hunting as the Gentleman’s Gauge!!! Steve

nice bird ....gun had any special treatment?
Re: 16ga Only Turkey Kills For 2018
Did you tape one of last year's beards to this one's beard to make it look that thick??
Otherwise, it is a nice bird.
You will be hearing from my lawyer about the patent infringement on your shell holder.
As you may be aware, I am all over the asparagus and broccoli growers for misusing my shell holders.
On a less serious matter, what did you do to the metal work to give it that flat black look?

Nice gobbler and gun. I have an old 870 16 in mint condition I'm planning to hunt with next season.
Are you shooting TSS and if so what kind of numbers are you getting with the X Full choke. I'm needing a choke tube install on my fixed mod barrel before I use it for turkeys.

Thanks, and yes I was shooting a1 7/8 oz of tss 9’s. I’m getting 280ish in the 10 at 40. I would try the fixed mod first, and go from there.Longspurs wrote: ↑March 25th, 2018, 8:10 pm Nice gobbler and gun. I have an old 870 16 in mint condition I'm planning to hunt with next season.

Nice gobbler!
Kudos on a sweet shooting 16ga! Looks fantastic!
How much money wrapped up in it? Minus the Venom costs of course

Joe, you are one of the Lone Rangers in not shooting TSS. What loads are you using in yours? I know you told me years ago, but..what was I asking? Gil
Re: 16ga Only Turkey Kills For 2018
I might have to get on board sometime they discontinued my purple turkey eaters.

Awesome Joe!!! Looks like you made a hunting buddy for life!!! What is the barrel length on your Savage 220 16ga?
Re: 16ga Only Turkey Kills For 2018
Yeah the wife likes to go south it’s easier walking!!! Still kinda steep in the part of Harris county that we’re in Pine Mountain range they say.

Congrats on the kills!
I've never killed anything but doves with my Sweet 16, but this makes me want to smoke one with it.
