I use a old Winchester pump with the chokes that came with it and use the full choke for turkeys. I too use, Remington Nitro 4's as others listed.

I would like to do bow again but our part of the state the turkey numbers have crumbled from what they were just a few years ago, so hence why I use the shotgun.

Old single shot Stevens 20 gauge. No choke, just a smooth barrel. I usually shoot whatever shells I have here or just whatever is readily available. It’s the first gun my dad ever got me. I refinished it and did a little carving on it a few years back

I’ve used my Winchester Model 37A, single shot, 30” full choke in the past. One of the few 3” 12 gauges I own. I (really my dad bought it with my money) bought it new for $23 when the local hardware store went out of business back in 1976.

Last few times I used a bow as archery tags are good for all four of Iowa’s spring turkey season.

I'm currently using my PawPaw's Mossberg 835. I got it when he died.

Before that I used a Benelli Nova (I hated that gun).

Before that a Remington 870.

All in 12 gauge. I'm a poors.
