Weapon of choice

Saw backforty post up a black powder gun with a turkey. Post up what you are carrying this season and anything else you occasionally like to take to woods.

I use a Mossberg 835 12 gauge, Tristar Cobra 3 20 guage youth model, or an ATI Scout 28 guage depending on my mood.  All three have optics.  Hunting this morning with Perry so we have the Mossberg and Cobra.

Affinity 3 Turkey Elite 20g with Holosun HE507C-GR X2 and Trulock 585. Someday would like to take a Tom with my bow but always chicken out, if I didn't hunt public, I would feel more comfortable trying with bow.

How do you like that tristar 20. I'm in the market for a youth model 20 and it has popped up in my searches a couple of times.
My stoeger 3500 is a good gun and throws a heck of a pattern with longbeard #5s but it gets heavy on long walks.

I love it.  I bought it for the other half and Perry but find myself using it often when I'm by myself running and gunning.  It is a dream to carry and maneuver when those tough shots present themselves.

I am a browning guy. This is my Browning maxus 2 wicked wing. I would like a dedicated turkey gun, but for now I can waterfowl and turkey hunt with this one. I wish browning would come out with a pistol grip for there maxus but no luck so far.
I love the bronze cerakote this one has.

My quiver

870 12ga SP-S
BPS 10ga for when I don't have to walk to far
870 12ga Express
870 20ga Express with Fieldmaster stock set

The BPS and the 20ga will probably see the woods the most this year.

Last few years I've carried a rem 870 20 ga, few months ago I bought a franchi affinity 20 ga and it's what I've carried so far this season. Before next spring tho I will shorten the barrel on it, 26" is to long lol.

I use a mossberg 835. Nothing fancy about it but it means a lot to me. It was the first gun I bought with my own money when I was old enough to work and first gun I set up just for turkeys. It's killed a bunch over the years

I love that!. Owning an A5 was always a dream of mine, my papaw had a whole set of belgiums and my uncle had a Belgium. This is mine, it's a 1964 magnum 12. I have the original barrel and a Japanese barrel for it. I killed this Jake with it a few years ago, I only wanted to kill one with it.

I've had three Belgian Browning Auto 5's, two 12's and one 20 gauge magnum. The 20 is from 1968, it came with a 28" full choke but years ago I bought a 28" Japanese Miroku barrel for it with the interchangeable chokes tubes and I've used it quite a bit on upland birds and turkeys. The two 12's both had the safety's inside the front of the trigger guard, one was made somewhere around 1937 and the other a couple years after WW2. One went to my brother-in-law and I just gave the other to my grandson. This picture with my 20 is probably 30 years old.

Here I am with the same 1968 Browning Auto 5 magnum 20 gauge, probably about 4 years ago.

Currently I use a Benelli Ethos 20 gauge, 26" barrel, it weighs 6lbs 2 oz loaded with 3, 1 5/8 oz. 3" TSS rounds. Two things I didn't like about this gun when I got it was the 7 pound trigger pull and the stiff safety, I found I could not release the safety as I was shouldering the gun and swinging on a quail. Both issues were easy fixes and it's one of the best guns I've ever owned. It's easy to carry and it's deadly.
