Best Deer/Turkey Shotgun

Recommended Posts

Ground blind, pump shotgun, 12 ga. So far my heart's set on a Browning BPS Hunter simply for it's bottom ejection being a natural lefty. Also like the Mossberg 835 Ultra Mag with deer/turkey barrels in camo pattern. Other than those two I am looking for a few more suggestions so when I drive to Cabelas in PA, I'll have options if they're out of stock on one or another. Thanks.

Both the BPS and 835 have overbored barrels and should throw nice patterns for heavy turkey loads. Both can be had with with a rifled slug barrel for shooting modern sabots for deer. The Browning is all-steel, has a 3" chamber, while the 835 has an aluminum receiver and a 3.5" chamber. Pick the 3.5" chambered gun if you feel the desire for waterfowl although it's not imperative. I have seen how well an 835 throws a pattern of 2 oz. of lead shot with a 3" shell, but I also like the design of the Browning. (I also roll my eyes when I see something called "Tactical Turkey" that Mossberg offers in the 835, but I suspect it sells like hotcakes.) Pick the shotgun what feels and shoulders the best for you and run with it.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
