Our NH spring turkey season opened on May 1st, had a good day., called in 8 birds missed 2 . but did hit the last one. i was using my NH 10 ga. with 32 in barrels choked .038 in both. shooting 1 3/8th oz 6's. This is the 1st turkey i have shot with this gun. bird was 19 lbs with 3/4 inch spurs and a 9 1/2 in beard.

Congrats Scotty! - You must know the right areas to hunt! Eight birds called in without calling in other hunters - now that's impressive!

A good, clean head shot will do that every time. Nice shooting.
