RE: What gun do you use and why?
Remington 870 express 12 ga using standard full choke. Nothing fancy, no camo, no nothing, just a bird killing gun!
I also have a Savage 24F which would be a really nice turkey gun if you could hunt with rifle in NY. It is an over/under break action with a 12 ga on the bottom and a .22 hornet on the top. Camo stock, and rifle sights. I might bring it out this season anyway, just becuase it is more compact then the 870, and just use the 12 ga barrel.
