It was the same gun I used for my first deer, a Winchester 37 in 20 gauge. I got the turkey in 1966, though I had hunted a couple of seasons before that without success.

1983 h and r 10 ga. 36" barrel
Gomer- you got the right one. I picked up a Stoeger 3020 this year to jump on the 20ga TSS train. I'm gonna give it a try next spring and see how I like it. But there's at least a 50/50 chance it get's retired to being a dove gun/backup turkey gun and I go back to the 1300 as my main gun. The 1300 just fits like a glove, and with a $20 tightwad choke, it patterns Longbeards like a boss.

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

Sportsman 58 12g with a poly choke on it. Missed him the first shot and he took off and flew right over my head. Couldn't have been more than 12 ft off the ground when I pulled the trigger the second time. Looked like a shot a feather pillow. Covered me and my buddy. We just rolled around laughing. Shot his beard mostly off as well.

Winchester 1300 Turkey special 12 gauge with Winchester supreme #4's. I still have that gun in my safe and I say every year I'm going to take it and shoot another gobbler with it, but I never do. That's the gun I've killed 90% of my turkeys with, including all three from last year. My first bird was a jake killed in Bullock county with my dad's Winchester Model 120, 12 gauge, modified choke shooting #6's. I have a polaroid pic of that gun, the bird, and me somewhere. Dr. B
