Thanks. Never have hunted turkeys, but, if I can figure out how to work a Setter into the hunting of them, I might give it a run someday.
Or, not.
Best,
Ted Ted, it is pretty darn cool when dogs point a turkey in heavy grass. Everyone gets a little bit of a charge out that. I'm surprised it hasn't happened to you at least once or twice. The dogs get a bit edgy and when the bird breaks out, everyone is surprised. It's a good laugh for sure.

 Here's a new turkey gun project...12ga. Remington 870 Wingmaster Magnum. 26" rem choke barrel (left hand). Shoots a killer pattern with a Pattermaster Code Black Goose tube with 3" #4 Winchester Longbeards. I installed a Pachmayer Decelerator Sporting Clay pad and had ever part I could Cerakoted in Cobalt.

The dogs get a bit edgy and when the bird breaks out, everyone is surprised. It's a good laugh for sure. It has happened exactly one time. Hunting Amish property near Little Falls, MN, my buddies GSP pointed turkeys that had backed up to a creek. My English Setter had seen, chased, and grown weary of turkeys for a decade, right on my own 1/2 acre yard in the suburbs, and didnt acknowledge them as carbon based life forms. They sounded like bombers trying to fly through the trees. We continued pheasant hunting after that. Best, Ted

My explanation for usually choosing a single shot for turkeys is simple. The last time I had to tote sixty pounds of gobblers two miles out of Bear Garden Swamp was the last time I took a repeater turkey hunting. If I have three shots and three come in I seem to go into automatic kill mode...Geo

Pitiful, George. Just pitiful. JR
Be strong, be of good courage.
God bless America, long live the Republic.

Tell us again how yOu used to be able to kill 5 turkeys in one day in TN, (I remember the pics) and how now the turkey population has crashed, and how Tennessee is such a "Great State".
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
