Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

All shotgun are individual...one must test several loads and chokes to determine the best performance...Some combinations do not pattern well at all.

My best groups so far are with 3" Winchester Supremes 1 3/4 oz # 5's in my Browning A-Bolt 12 gauge.....
