In the last 25 years, I wonder how many turkeys have been killed in the US by an 8 gauge shotgun. Can't be many. Where did you get the ammo? If you send me a pics I would be happy to post it.

OP Connecticut Yank Boxlock Joined: May 2012 Posts: 25	I researched CT law and it only said for Turkeys that it had to be at LEAST 20 gauge so.... I got my first with a 12 parker trap gun BTFE, VR ;second with a short ten Parker Hammer gun and was hoping for the chance with an 8 bore. I'm done- that's the limit. I used Gamebore BP #5 2 oz from Stephen Farfaro.
