I use a duplex load of F shot and #7.5 for pest control. Coyote, skunk, racoons. Very brutal load.

Are turkeys considered waterfowl?
I never considered that 000 shot was not legal for game animals. Was planning to use it on turkeys!
I have about 50 lbs of 000 lead buck shot. Have to Check regulations now back in Oregon.
Maybe I need to build a .36 rifle...
Can always be for home defense!

For a body shot?
Depends where you are?
#2 goose shot 20_30 yards.. I think would work. it's the same as shooting a goose. I never tried it. it's just what I heard.
I wonder. if the turkey head hunt is just too sell special turkey guns and ammunition.
Tss.. we have to Make .410 turkey guns. Had to read a year of hunt that Tom with a .410 only $40 a bullet.
Tss.. now they talk use grandpa's gun with no choke..
Tss.. long range.. we gotta shoot them in the head at 80 yards now to..
What's next. Buy a smoothbore muzzloader.. smoke that Tom turkey in the head with tss...
This tss just made everything a turkey gun.. just $90 a box and you to can shoot a turkey in the head with everything gauge choke guns.
We need all this bull I think to hunt turkey in the head and I do think it's just a goose, Just Standing there.

I don't see them saying use number 4 tss.
#4 shot size here is the largest shot size you can use. Same in most states.
Just wondering. can you use #4 tss. shoot that thing like a goose.

The simple answer is yes. I have shot buckshot in my smoothbores, but There's no real purpose to doing so other than as a test. In the state I live in it's not legal for deer or turkey.
Pick your poison…
2 ozs of #6 for small game….or 2 ozs of copper coated bbs for varmints & vermin ..
Brown paper bag for cartridge load.
Folded/ crimped not glued .
The only problem is at 20 yards I’ve seen the entire load make one hole..
This was from my 16 gauge smoothbore..
No it didn’t damage the barrel, this was being tested for Turkey hunting.
Once I found out it was illegal too use shot larger than #4 I discontinued my testing.
However I think it would work fine on most farm pest….

I made these shotcups with glue. Not hard to do, but I figure it's not going to do anything.
I havn't tried them yet. I think they look cool.

Turkeys are not migratory birds. Lead shot is legal.
The restrict the shot size.. basically not large enough for a body shot..
I think I've heard for safety.. other hunters in camo?
ethical clean kill. Head and neck.
I think it's they don't want you shooting them running, flying or on the roost.

I’ve done the same thing. No harm to the barrel.
