My friend with the 28’s on swans picked up an Ithaca NID 20 gauge 3” with 32” vent rib barrels last week he said its choked pretty tight . He laughs at me playing with 10’s and told me this 20 would be his turkey gun . You oughtta give consideration to the 28 with buckshot and or slugs for a deer this coming fall . I’ll carry my one and only Parker 28 out again all be it in a gunsock until I’m situated in the tree . I’ll have a home cast slug in one barrel and hand loaded buckshot in the other .

How is your 28 choked? As far as buckshot, they are not legal here in MD where I hunt.

These were the home cast 28 slugs at 25 yards . I did forget to write on the label that I fill the cavity in the bottom of the slug with hot melt glue or wax , reason being it keeps the 410 card wads and or the 28 gauge CB wad from becoming caught in the bottom of the slug messing with what little accuracy one gets .

I would be happy to run the "Big Turkey " contest next year, since I brought it up in the first place. For simplicity sake however, I think just the beard and length of each spur.
Yes we could give handicap scoring with gage, and how about with hammer guns? You could really score big with a 28 or .410 hammer gun. Anyway, the fun part is just seeing the pictures of those birds with our Parkers. Here is my Grade 2 Hammer 12 with one of the birds I took this spring.

I did not include the weight as many, myself included, don't have a way to get an accurate weight. I absolutely agree with you however. I have run big turkey contests for our sportsmans club in the past, and when asked the weight you could tell people just made up a weight, they really didn't know.
