Almost got the big one and settled for a jake for first tag. The 3.5" shells with a turkey choke smoke them but it kicks like a mule. Congrats on getting a bird mooseslayer ! Ya 3 1/2 s are a bit much in my opinion but to each their own .ive alwayd just used 2 3/4 cause my guns only chambered for them but doo-doo my buddys with 3 1/2s and was really suprised at the punch .almost like my 300 win mag !....havent decided if il try for another bird or not.

smerchly Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Beauty bird !! A gourmet chefs delight . I had some jake meat from a buddy ...soooo good !! In my much younger day we never had the chance to hunt turkey ....only pheasants and grouse & I remember using shotguns with poly chokes and using 6 & 7-1/2 shot size ......#4 for ducks & #2 for geese & jacks . ...all lead shot .
