Yeah all the advise on here helped out a lot. I read what most people where using for a shot load and what most people used for a turkey gun and about 80% said they use an 870 so thats what I got. And honestly if I wouldn't be so focused on the opinions and advise on this site I prolly would have not been successful. But I still think its luck lol I mean 5 toms in front of ya lol. And i prolly would have felt like crap wounding that bird. And would have tried like hell to find it and take it down.
