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

Default Mossberg 535 pattern.

Went out a week ago and patterned my gun. I got a new choke, TruGlo
SSX and polished my barrel. I am shooting a Mossberg 535 with 3 1/2 Heavy Shot Mag Blend. I doubled my #s from last year.
I think she will hunt, Thanks John

More power to you man. I have an 835, and I thought it kicked pretty hard until I shot a friends 535 with turkey loads. Recoil of my 835 seems mild by comparison. Great patterns, though.

I went and shot with RPD63, 2nd reply.
My buddy has a led sled and it was our 1st time using it. I thought the sled would stop most of the kick, IT DID NOT.
My headset went flying, lost my hat and had a small bruise and cut on my cheek.
But I was shooting 3 1/2 " shells, [b][u]RPD63 is only shooting 3" girly shells. season starts in 1 week, I am ready.

I look at that pattern and yes the turkey is dead but it looks low. I see no hits in the skull area.
