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.

No test volunteers so far. I've called in four so far. Opening day a 60 yard look at my decoy did not please him; Tuesday a fly down to 75 yards and one gobble (called him back at about 11 a.m.) and he said goodbye; and today, well I watched him strut at another seventy-five yards, and the clock struck twelve (end of shooting time) and he was safe for another day. We talked for over an hour. All of them have lots of concubines.

I give them 3 points for every day they beat me. I get seven for a score. Score now: 15 to 0. Three more shutouts and I can't beat them this year.

Back again tomorrow at 5 a.m.

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.
