I am sick of the arguing going back and forth between what shell to shoot and why. Let's see some turkey guns and birds killed with them! Include the information of your set up.
Here is my current set up. This will be my 3rd year hunting it and have killed 7 with it to this point, should have had a few more if I had done my part.
She is a Mossberg 835 with a Star Dot .676. I have a Simmons Pro-Diamond 4 x 32 mm scope on top. I am shooting 3.5" 2.25 oz Hevi 6s. Added the pistol grip this past off season.

Let's see some of yours!
That's some good looking birds and a great lookin gun.
Congratulations! There you go.
Thanks,

Hope others will post up some pictures and get us in the spirit that we are supposed to be in for the sport we are supposed to love.
I agree.
Thanks,
Clark
I've been looking for a pistol grip for my 835 but I've not had any luck. Where did you pick that one up? That is exactly what I'm lookin for

Both of these were taken with Federal Heavyweight #7's. one with a 11-87 3 1/2, 23inch barrel and the other with a 870 3 inch ,26inch barrel. Both were taken between 25-30 yards. Lee
Here is mine. Mossberg 835, topped with a Burris FFIII, and choked with a .670 Truglo SSX. I feed her Hevi-13 3-2-7's.

Mike, your 835 looks like the short barrel version on mine. Your breakup pattern has better color though. The FFIII looks good on it!

Thanks Donald!
Yes, it is the 20" barreled version. I sent the SSX choke and FFIII rain cover to lostncamo for the dip job. I was very pleased.
I must say, your 835 really looks awesome, and she sure gets the job done! :icon_thumright:

Gotta love the turkey on the tree pics. This is the first tom I ever called in. Watched him come through the timber 100 yards away. Glowing blue head - in and out of strut!! This experience got me hooked on turkeys.
