Anyone still shooting 12 gauge 3.5”

[Soft Talker]

No turkey takes a tightly choked load of at least 1 1/8 oz of #7.5 inside of 35 yds and comes out alive. It don't take a cannon to kill one.

I'm finding I don't want any more "progress" in turkey hunting stuff. I don't want TSS shot that kills farther, I don't want a crystal glass call that emits sounds at 10k kilohertz or whatever it is. I don't want camo that makes me invisible in the woods or most any of this other crap that's come along. What I want is a reverse gear to back away from all this stuff.

Love your signature line...

That's the beauty of it. We are free to use whatever we want as long as it's legal.

I wonder if anyone has ever been hospitalized from firing an 835? I bet someone somewhere has.

Read somewhere about an 835 breaking a collarbone

Keep pushing it on the sheep bud, unfortunately I ain't one of them.

Sheep reload and shoot more efficient shot shells now…. Who knew?

Only to make up for their lack of ability to call Gobblers to within 40 steps.

Nothing like thinking just because someone shoots tss they shoot over 40... You probably shoot a 12 with tss and crawl behind a decoy while wearing a seekone hat.

I bought a bunch of of nitro 3.5" last yr after season for peanuts. I bet they will still kill a turkey.

Me and little brother bought new shotguns in the very early 90's, he decided on the 835 and me the 500, he said you need 1 of these, glad I stayed with the 500 after shooting his. also a 3.5 will go into a 3" mag cant chamber or shuckem out though. he was nice enough to grab my gun up and load it for me, a dull pocket knife is a poor knife, after getting RMSF I give up on turkeys with guns and use my truck unless 1 walks through the yard, make sure you all get sprayed down good, it's a life changing disease.

I carried a youth 20 gauge last year just because I'm lazy...but I still have about 4 or 5 boxes of Hevi Blends and Apex TSS #9 3.5" for my 12 just in case.
