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.

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.

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.
