I have carried and killed Toms with all of the types of Firearms listed except the muzzleloader. I just like the experience,”feel” and challenge of toteing different types of firearms. Recently settled on a Browning Gold NWTF.

I like the way the OP phrased this post.  It made me think.  I hunted with a Remington 1100 for 15 years because that was the only shotgun I had.  I bought a Mossberg in 1996 for a several reasons.  It was camo and had an extra full choke AND it would shoot 3 1/2 shells.  The Remington was an IC barrel and 2 3/4 only.  I shot that Mossberg for 10 years.  My only complaint is that it hurt to shoot it.  If you had to twist or bend to get the shot that gun will bruise you.  I switched to an Auto that would shoot 3 1/2 shells and tried a couple of different guns.  I like using red dot sites and looked for guns with good mounts for optics.  The last two seasons I hunted with an O/U.  I love the versatility of an O/U.  The down side is typically an O/U is more expensive.

late 80's or early 90's, 870 express turkey model. Killed birds with Federal premiums the Winchester Double X, and Supremes, then switched to Nitro 4X5X7.

Switched to Charles Daly 02/03? Semi Auto 3.5" Winchester Supremes, then switched to Nitro 4x5x7.....

After all different chokes...... Using Rhino .660 in Daly, & custom .660 off of ebay..... LOL

I started out with an old Stevens single shot, 3" with a 32" barrel. It shoots about a foot low with the factory bead sight, but I took several turkeys with it, just had to aim a little high. One thing I can tell you, don't ever use one without a good thick recoil pad. It will jar your head off. Bad recoil. I don't remember what the load even was now, but the first time I shot it with a 3" turkey load, I was sitting down with it rested across my knees. After pulling the trigger I was lying flat on my back with the gun pointed straight up at the sky and my face felt like somebody hit me across the jaw with a club. I still take it every now and then but even with a good pad on it I shoot as few patterning shots as possible.
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:30-31

I don't think I would use a double.I load my gun with 5 rounds, or 4. I fired 3 times, twice this year.

I normally tote an 870 myself.

I did kill a turkey with a borrowed and very beat up Stevens 9478 10 gauge with a 36" barrel in 2016. When I walked through the woods with it, I felt like a frontiersman carrying a musket. That thing was looooonnngg

This is the funniest typo I have read in a long time.

My primary gun is a Beretta 391 Xtrema. I also have an 870 Super Mag with Leupold scope, camo, the turkey version that just stays in the gun safe.
