(also, I used to think it would be impossible to miss a turkey with a shotgun until I missed one once that was on the run). Buzz, if anyone ever tells you they've never missed a turkey you can bet they haven't shot at many. My young neighbor looked at me like I had three eyeballs when I told him I had just missed one that morning. "How could you miss a turkey??" he asked. Few days later he had a sheepish look on his face and told me he missed one that day as well. If someone has never missed a turkey, a miss is just around the corner. Gil Gil, I have been killing turkeys for 48 years. And have missed my share of birds. But your comment if someone has never missed it right around the core is so spot on. A long story short, back in the 80s my father has taken a turkey every year since 1963 with no misses. Opening day, he went one way and I the other. I killed a long beard within the first 40 min of light while packing up the bird I heard my farther shot, and I thought to myself "all right"!!! Then less than a minute another shot, then another, and another. All around minute apart, now I am in a panic, I got to the car threw my gun and bird in the trunk and started heading towards my fathers location, my father shot again, and in another min again!! I was on a dead run up a mountain side thinking the worse. When I got to him he was sitting on a log with a long beard on the log with him. And in total dismay look at me and said "it was nothing he never seen before, the woods was full of long beards dumber than a box of bricks, and I missed them all! But my last shell I finally killed one" my father missed 6 birds all in less than an hour and killed the 7th long beard he called in. I know this sounds like a BS story. But I'll swear on a stack of bibles it's true! I guess all his non misss finally caught up to him. Rich

Gil has exposed you for the hypocritical, cowardly person you are but you still keep at it. You are a very stupid man who continually attempts to slander and bully other members here if you think you can get away with it. Time to be quiet. BTW, jOe. No matter what I say to you, you won't be able to call my employer and complain I have been threatening you, should I do so. Sound familiar? Get those gears working and dredge up some shame for your past behavior, you coward.

Sadly, I've read far too much of your crap. At least when Keith goes after someone, he has a point. Your posts paint the picture of a profoundly unhappy man doing his best to spread his poison. This was a light heart-ed and interesting thread until you joined in. Now it's the shits. Well done there buddy. The only good part of the last half of this thread is the interesting material others have posted to put the lie to your mean spirited blather.

Or just sick of you. but that aside, I don't really see the point of a #9 shot turkey load. Is a 3 or 4 pound gun really that important that you have to use a .410? I think 20 is the smallest gauge legal in Iowa and there may be a minimum shot size (#4 is the max size), but I might be wrong. Regardless, we lug guns over hill and dale in pursuit of upland birds and it's not a big deal. Even when we carry that gun "at the ready". There is no easier hunting than turkey hunting, so carrying a firearm of some normal weight is hardly and imposition. A sling is always possible, and over a shoulder is about as simple for those that can't loop a sling over their muzzle. On another forum, someone posted a video of someone shooting a whitetail doe with a .50 bmg. Surprise! it killed the deer. I guess I put .410s with #9 shot up there with shooting does with a .50 bmg. Saw a guy that shot one with a cannon loaded with grape in Wisconsin. That's another winner. To each his own, but I can't say I understand it, or even care to understand. Much like Joe. I don't care to try to understand him - I just reject him.
