Turkey hunting 2024

[Okie4570]

Range and pattern on my prospective 2-12ga shotguns for turkey today. My Remington 870 had a EF Turkey choke. My Browning Maxus was sporting a standard full choke. Both using the same 2 3/4” turkey load ammo.

What I learned with just 4 shots. 2 3/4” is plenty. I could possibly take one at 60 yds but I probably should wait for a 30 yd shot. I need to concentrate on not jerking the trigger. Can you spot the 4th shot where I concentrated on preeersssss the trigger. View attachment 461184View attachment 461185View attachment 461186View attachment 461187View attachment 461188

Looks like they might be pretty safe at 60y haha

It looks like the standard choke patterns better, kinda surprising! Definitely a dead turkey though!
