[QUOTE="74honker, post: 2156532, member: 113930"] Man did you open a can of worms lol. If a turkey could smell, you would never kill one! Thier vision and hearing are on a whole nuther level than what you're probably used to. It can be either the easiest, or the hardest thing you ever do lol. As fae as your shot question, some states have regs on shot size. In IL no bigger than 4s and no smaller than 6s. Your 2 3/4 is quite capable and as others have stated you need to pattern a few loads and your gun will tell you which one to use. Shotguns are much like our LR rifles as in they will just shoot some loads better than others. IMHO, I have rolled a few at 40+ but don't recommend it. You only have a head as a target and outside 30 it just ain't a very big target. Head shots ONLY! I like #5 shot. Try to study as much as you can about everything involved in the sport, calling, scouting, habits of them, etc. Beware, this is a VERY addictive challenge lol. Just keep asking questions and we'll do our best to try to answer them. [/QUOTE]
