I had a great morning. Heard gobbles as I got out of the truck.
I got down to the corner of the field and gave out a couple of calls and had three more gobblers answer me.
Then as it got light, I heard another gobbler below me, so that made 5 birds gobbling.
I worked a nice gobbler for about an hour before I got him to 30 yards and took him.
Then with all the flopping, other gobblers started coming my way from about 200 yards away and as I was calling, I was able to call the two hens that were with them over to me. The Tom's followed and I took the biggest bird out of 4. He Has double beards and 1 1/4" Spurs. Took him at 45 Yards.
Both Tom's Beards are 9"
Using the Winchester 1300 20 gauge and Federal TSS 3" Turkey loads in #6 shot. Patterns good out to 55 yards

If you have a heart condition, take a pill before looking at the price!

If you buy any to try, start with 7 1/2s which is the legal minimum size for turkey in CT, they hit like a 2 lead and there are a whole lot of them in an ounce and a half. I have my eye on a new 20 gauge turkey gun seeing how they work and how light the 20 is to tote around.

First year using the TSS, it hits much harder .. I have had good luck with the Winchester XR loads taking Tom's out past 50 yards with same 20 gauge.
I just got Tungsten 7.5 shot for my Muzzleloader shotgun.. can't wait to pattern that!
If BassPro had the Federal TSS in 7.5 in stock I would have tried that in my Winchester 1300.

Editing video of this turkey hunt right now came out pretty good with the tactacam!

Yeah I dont think federal makes 7.5s. The only place that I know of is Apex. Apex wont ship to ct but macks prairie wings carrys it and does.

I'm going to push the state to allow 8 and 9s. I thied once last year.
