"I love how some people seem to have this mindset that if its illegal in my state, it obiviously won't get the job done. Also i can't stand people with this mindset that if it doesn't make a very loud boom, it's worthless, ala .410 for deer, turkey, upland birds, even paper for gods sake. JMO though, don't look much into it."

AmHunter44857...Take some, if not all of these replies, with a grain of salt. They're only opinions, after all. He wanted opinions and he's getting them. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. If it's legal to use by you, then by God, get out there and use it. Just make sure you get the bird close enough for a clean kill and it doesn't run off wounded.If it does...there's more fodder for the tree-huggin' anti's to use against us all. My post was based on simple facts...a .410 is NOTlegalin most states, and there's obviously a reason for it.Turkeys are incredibly tough and resilient animals and if you've taken plenty of turkeys witha .410, you were either damn close, damn good, or damn lucky.I own an old Winchester Mod 42 in.410 that was my dad's and as much fun as it is to take it out grouse hunting or rabbit hunting, I'd never think of using it for a tough old gobbler. Don't let these posts get you all wriled up. Every one of us could go into almostany thread here and take issue for at least one thing that someone wrote. Just my 2 pennies...

My season starts next Wednesday...Good luck guys.
