First I just want to say thanks for all of the help that you guys have given me already. I hope I'm not asking too many silly questions. Anyway enough of the sap.

First off I am shooting a rem. 870 express magnum. It will shoot 2 3/4, 3, 3 1/2's. I was thinking of trying something in the 3" shell size. Is there a particular choke\ ammo combo I should look at? I've looked at a number of turkey hunting web sites and there seems to be a lot of chokes out there. As a beginner I know I need to pattern my gun to see what it likes to shoot, but I don't want to spend $80 on a Rhino choke and later find out that my gun doesn't like it. Is there a descent choke\ ammo combo you guys think that would be good for the beginner?

Second, I've seen a lot of different vests as well. Other than all the pockets and padded seat what else is there? I don't want to break the bank trying to get set-up for turkey hunting my first year. Do I really need a vest\ seat or can I get by with my big game pack the first year. My big game pack has a water bladder in it and is not that heavy. I usually carry my survival gear, water and food in it. I only have an "Ol Yeller" and some mouth calls for now and they will fit in the pack that I have just fine.

I'm sorry for being sooo long winded but I have so many questions. I have gotten myself some videos and begun to watch them and I am going to the sportsmans show this weekend to hopefully talk to other hunters in my area about turkey hunting in Colorado.
