[quote=Forrestgump1]I. You can tune a 12 to kill turkeys further than any 20 can if that's what you wanna do, or you can tune it to have a wider kill pattern at closer range, giving more room for error. I think that most turkey hunters would benefit far more from the wider pattern than the tightest choke possible, but that ain't cool so few do it. [quote=BamaGuitarDude][quote=poorcountrypreacher]
I agree with this. I've shot way more birds under 10 yards than I ever have over 40. Probably more under 10 than over 30. I don't want a really tight pattern.
It makes sense that as a person ages a lighter gun would be better. But, that hasn't happened with the older hunters I know. Most don't even have slings for their guns and are still using the same guns they have since the 60s or 70s. . I get hammered when I talk about carrying an old model 12, 12 gauge with a full choke. Nope, it doesn't have a sling, and my uncle started using it in the 40's, I started carrying it in 1974. That is the same gun I hunted with for many years. My grandfather got it from montgomery ward (if think) in the 1920's. The choke is not too tight anymore probably from all the slugs shot out of it. It fed a family from the 30's until the early 60's and then killed a lot of game after that too. It was even used to guard RR Bridges in WW2. Guess I should man up and kill a couple with it this year, but that sling is easy to get used to.
