Looks like a great opportunity to do a test run. Set up the scenario and shoot it. Personally, if I see any obstruction then I reevaluate the shot and plan accordingly. I shoot 1.5 oz of 8.5's out of my 28 gauge and have had great results. But I am quite spoiled and don't take iffy shots. Real life, or as close as possible, results are proof. Good Luck, Z

Look into the SA-20 and SA-28 turkey versions from Mossberg, they are both exellent guns. Z

I mean, meh. All the states that border me (Missouri resident) limit me to one tag anymore. Iowa has a draw (gasp). I still put in for it when I feel like, because it's ten minutes from my house. People that wanna hunt here will still hunt here. Either you wanna come here or you don't. I'm not sure why everyones got their knickers in a bind about states that are finally starting to put their resident's interests first. Now, if only they'd make nonresident DEER hunters draw a tag we'll be making real moves.

Never shot TSS out of a 12 gauge so I can only comment on the LB out of my Browning with the Patternmaster. Only 2 chokes ever were used in it, the Patternmaster for turkeys and a Kick's High Flyer xFull for waterfowl. Z

Just a random side musing.......

I was discussing turkey books with a fellow the other day.

I was late to the party on a bunch of them for various reasons.

Mickel's first book
The Neil Cost trilogy
Neil Cost: Magic With Wood
Most Perfect (the Lynch book)

All were limited runs.  All cost me a lot more to buy AFTER the fact than had I gotten in on the initial offerings.  A WHOLE LOT MORE.

If you even THINK this book interests you......GRAB ONE !!!  If it's a keeper for you, you got it as cheap as you ever will.  If you decide to not keep it....you will, likely, get more for it than you paid.  Just sayin'
