What's everyone's weapon of choice? I personally use a Mossberg 835 with a Sumtoy choke shooting Winchesters long beards 5 shot 3 inch.

Mossberg 935, Indian Creek choke, Winchester XR 4 or 5 shot, Trijicon 1.5-4
Accupoint

BTW, what part of WV are you from? My wife grew up in Fairmont, and I was born in Weirton.

Last year I hunted with my trusty old Winchester Ranger 1300 with a Carlsons Long Beard choke and Winchester LB 3" #6. I added the tru-glo turkey extreme with the peep option. It did the job!
Since then I picked up an as new Benelli Nova, added a Primos Jellyhead and the same tru-glo peep. I have not had it to the patterning range yet to see what it likes.

Back up - Winchester 1300, 3" Win extended range hd #6, undertaker choke, fiber optic sights.

Edit... I got a Remington 11-87 compact 20ga. for my birthday. I've put a set of Tru Glo fiber optic sights, picked up a few choke tubes, some fed hw #7's, Hevi #7, Win xx 5's. I hope to be able to pattern it one day this week.  I have a 9 year old daughter ready to try it out

With only one bird under my belt, I'm not confident enough to try with the bow. Cudos to you! Maybe someday!

I use a Benelli Black Eagle with a Carlson's turkey choke. I just started turkey hunting about 5 years ago and this gun is 7/7 so far. I've got 6 winchester supreme elite extended range #6s left for it. Not sure what I'll change to after those are gone.
