Another - "nope". First 25+ turkeys I klilled were done in with an old Stevens Model B, SBS, 12 ga. , 2 3/4 in. .... with 30" F/F barrels. Heck I did not start wearing cammo until maybe 1980! (Army "woodland"). I must admit now that I go out looking like a 275# shrub and toting a "turkey gun" .... a fully cammoed Benelli Nova, 12 ga. that will handle 3 1/2' shells .... with a Pure Gold .670 choke. Can't say that it has made me any more dangerous to the gobblers. But man do I look the part!
