Hello all. I've been lurking for a while and decided to join. I just got back into turkey hunting seriously this year. My last gobblers were in 2018. I use an 870. I'm going to try a new choke, an Indian creek. Also going to try some 2 3/4 inch nitro mags, 4,5 and 6 shot. Going hunting Monday  morning

Welcome and good luck! At some point I recommend you try some 2-3/4" TSS out of that 870. Herters and Foxtrot make a great load for those older 2-/34" guns.
