[QUOTE=Dean Romig;240896]Vermont limits shot size while hunting turkeys to #8 being the smallest and #2 being the largest - though I don't know who would ever use #2 for such a tiny target.
Dean, I don't know if Vermont has a fall season but NY does. I have taken many fall birds with #4 shooting for the body, not the head. #2's don't pattern well with any of my tightly choked 12 bores, so I went to #4 which pattern well. I've never owned a gun that patterened well with #2's. I used to use #3's on geese back in the day which I bought from Herters. In my guns, the 3's patterend well and far better than the 2's. I am a big fan of #3's. I wish it were still available.
