Gotta thank a few of the folks on here for the help i received on building this 20ga. Thanks again Sand Man and Remmy1187  I love my 12ga but after this season it will be going into semi retirement.
The first time i took my 20 out was on a walk in area in KS last week and i was able to score on a real nice KS gobbler

I like it so much and i had 2 more TSS loads left so i carried it when i got to Nebraska I was able to connect on a real nice NW NE merriam which finished off my single season Grand SLAM!!!!

Next we were off to SD and after a couple days of hard hunting i was able to connect on another nice bird with my last TSS load.

WTG, looks like you did real good this year.   These 20's with HTL loads are nothing short of amazing.  I also semi retired my 12 gauge, my 20's shoot almost as good and kick and weigh a lot less.  Congrats!!!

Welcome.  Awesome season.  I sold my SBE after last season. I killed 9 birds with my 20 and said never again to the 12ga.  Only killed one bird this year, but that's the way turkey hunting go!   ;D

That is some solid killing.  Nothing like it.  We went to Kansas and Nebraska in late May and went on a similar killing spree.  Northwestern Nebraska is some of the prettiest woods I have ever hunted in.
