Turkey hunting with a 20 ga?

[PotterMan96]

Click my name and look at the pic of me with my grandpa the turkey weighed 23 pounds and I shot it with a .20 guage.

i would use a 20ga

[buck hunter 17]

It works but i would go for a 12 ga.

That should do the trick as long as you are shooting good paterns.

[bonnier-admin_2]

even 2 3/4 will work even a 410 as long as you got a good pattern at that range!!

[bonnier-admin_2]

3 inch of #6 and patterns good?

LET'R RIP CHIP!!!

i killed my first turkey with 20 guage 1 shot is all it took

I will be using a 20 this spring.

Test pattern your gun with different loads. My wife hunts with a 20. Her 870 and turkey choke combo likes a high brass one ounce load of #6's. It will pattern that load like a screen door, even better than the 3 inch loads. Try differnt loads to find out which is best. The 20 is definitely up to the task.

I've killed two with a 20 gauge without a problem. However would recommend using 3" shells.

[buckhunter]

If a 20 gauge isn't enough to drop your bird I would suggest running and fast before it eats you.

My sons both used a 20 gauge to kill their first birds and it worked fine for them.

[ETangler]

If it will hold a good tight pattern you'll be fine.

[kolbster]

you should me fine with #5 shot, just pattern you gun.

I don't turkey hunt, but sounds good to me.
