I am not an experienced turkey hunter and I am looking for an inexpensive gun to use the 2 or 3 days I get to hunt per year. I just saw a single shot that is made as a turkey gun on line for around $135. What about it? Thanks for the help. "Make a difference, take a kid hunting".

When u figure out you might need another shot or two, stick it in the safe and go get anuther 1. Originally Posted by BPS This is Aldeer!

Would kick like a SOG and every so often you need more than one shot on a bird or if you ever travel to states where you can kill more than one in a day you may need more than one shot there also.

It may cost you a bird once or twice every ten years. But if you load it right, it won't cost you as many birds as skimping on shells will cost those who spend big money on guns but go cheap on shells.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one
