Damascus in the Spring

Great ! The 10 Ga. did the job. I killed my first turkey in 1972 and have used a 12 ga. 3 inch on all of them 1 3/4 oz. of 4's is the best load for my gun. Have been thinking about a Parker for turkeys, but wonder how far you can kill one with a 10 ga or a 12. the turkeys in Mississippi and Alabama ( where most of my hunting is done ) do not like to walk up to 20 yards and pose. Having killed turkeys in 6 states no turkeys are as hard as the ones where most of my hunting is done. You need to be able to make a 45 yard. Would like advice from hunters as to a using later 12 Ga.that is 2 3/4 or a 10 Ga. 2 7/8. Thank you.
