Best Turkey Load
Not much of a difference between #4 & #5 to make too much difference. More pellets in #5 so more chances of a kill. It only takes one pellet in the right place to do the job. You're looking for a 20-35 yard shot, with turkey loads to be most effective. Also shoulder that gun tight. Turkey loads, especially 3.5" kick pretty hard out of a pump. One more thing are you going alone? Or with someone that knows how to call? The hardest part isn't pulling the trigger on them. It's getting them to come into your set. You can't stalk turkey, it's illegal and a great way to wind up shot by another hunter. Turkey have insanely great eyesight! They can actually see you blink from 100 yards away. Practice being perfectly still for long periods of time. And use extremely slow movements if you need to adjust for a shot. Really a blind is one of the best methods to stay consealed for newbies. A two man team is a great way to hunt turkey one shooter one caller. Whatever you do, and this is important! Don't go out now locating with calls now. You don't want to educate the turkey in your spot. Look for tracks, ground scratching. A lot of skat, and feathers under trees in one spot is a good sign of a roosting area. Great spot to slip into before the sun comes up. Turkey sleep in trees at night and jump down just before or at first light. That's your best chance of seeing one usually. Have a plan before you go out, it's hard walking around in the dark woods trying to find a roosting area bumping into bears lol. That's always a good time in the pitch black. I mark my trail in with reflective thumb tacks in the trees to help me find my already set up the day before blind. Good luck this season, hope you kill a big Tom!

Best Turkey Load
I use Federal 3.5" turkey loads, have tried Remington as well the Federal just patterns better out of my gun. I would definitely put a few different shells through your gun on paper before you decide what to settle on. The only problem with that is its expensive to do so. A box of 3.5" turkey loads aren't cheap and they only come in boxes of 10. I shoot turkey with a Browning Maxus with an X-full invector + extended turkey choke. My Mossberg 935 with the X-full ultimag extended turkey choke patterns Remington 3.5" better on paper. There's a free turkey head target download available on the njfishandwildlife.com website to help you pattern. Another tip: go buy your turkey shells now! Once the season is actually here its slim pickings in the stores for shells. This is what I'm using again this year, gun is staying home. I just don't enjoy gun hunting anymore, not enough of a challenge for me after 27 year's of killing.

Any information about Scranton PA area? Possible move...
Anything is better than Newark NJ, except maybe Camden. RUN don't walk away from here. Remember if you can make it in Newark, you can make it anyplace! The toughest guy from Scranton wouldn't last 10 minutes, walking down Avon street in Newark after dark... anywhere you go out there is an improvement in multiple ways.

How about they re define "body Armor" to "AR500 plate or better". Soft body armor would no longer be considered "armor" then. They can call it "less lethal clothing" instead.- Weather seems to be warming, When's the next Shotgun Shootout?

I'm going already with a group of guys from NJhunter.- Muzzle brake?
1. Your barrel has no threads your getting a bolt on Don't have to take it off here. 2. Your barrel has threads Brake MUST be blind pinned Or welded to the barrel. Special note: ***if your barrel is threaded, and it's a 14.5". Your adding a brake to get a 26" oal. Then it needs to be pinned and the pin needs to be welded over, or brake needs to be welded to the barrel.*** Comprende? (Me personally: if I were going the bolt on route, I would tack weld it to the barrel on the bottom as well. For function reasons, not legal reasons.)- Shooting with astigmatism and prescription glasses.
I have the same issue, they now make contacts for astigmatism's. I ware them every day, they work well. I ware normal shooting eye protection with them in. I had them in the day we went to G&S last year for Basic Pistol. I have to say more than shooting they really help with driving at night, and being able to read signs before your right on top of them. Especially in foul weather, the difference is amazing! A lot of people in the reviews say these lenses give them dry eyes, but I don't have that problem. This is what I ware http://www.acuvue.com/products-acuvue-oasys-for-astigmatism They have a free month supply trial code in that link.
