Yep, we do.  Have been trying to get my wife to talk to her friend up there about her StepDad's farm.  80 acres, but no idea if there are turkey.  I think his license would be $2 and mine $150, so not bad to come for the youth day on 4/21.

No problem putting one down with that, the 10's look pretty good but the 20 ring is a little pathy for TSS. I'd try a more open choke on that one. I get the best results with TSS 9's using 575-580, with 8's 580-585, my gun has a oversized 632 bore though.
