Officially a 20 gauge member

[g8rvet]

Killed my first public land bird (I have called in 3, just never shot one) today. Also my first 20 gauge kill.  After passing up a jake on private and a jake on public this year, with only 2 days left I can hunt, I decided this morning I would kill a legal bird.  38 yards.  He did not even flop until I stepped on his head.  Fed HW #7 did the trick.  6" beard and just the start of spurs, little more than nubs.

congrats on your first "yellow shell" bird

I took 4 birds last year with my 20ga Weatherby SA-459 & 3 so far this year. This year 2 didn't even flop, the 3rd one did for a minute. I love mine! Only gun I turkey hunt with anymore.

Nice! That's one to be proud of

I like what Weatherby is doing with their turkey guns.  They are producing a very good shooting automatic, made for the turkey hunter, at a very affordable price.  AND...you can get it in 20 ga.

The more I see and read on these the more I'm tempted to make the switch.  Has to be a lot easier to tote around than an 835 or M3500...

Good looking too

It is hard to tell by pics how light and easy pointing they are. I have had mine up for a long time this year-waiting for a bird to clear palmettos, come around a thick spot in the swamp, step out on the road.  I can hold it up and steady for so much longer than my 870, and WAY longer than the Benelli Nova/Cannon cross-that thing was huge.
