Yep, we do. Have been trying to get my wife to talk to her friend up there about her StepDad's farm. 80 acres, but no idea if there are turkey. I think his license would be $2 and mine $150, so not bad to come for the youth day on 4/21.
Now that is awesome he should do real well with that pattern!!

Nice pattern!
No problem putting one down with that, the 10's look pretty good but the 20 ring is a little pathy for TSS. I'd try a more open choke on that one. I get the best results with TSS 9's using 575-580, with 8's 580-585, my gun has a oversized 632 bore though.
