Great bird Mike, at least I'm not the only one whose idea of a turkey gun is not a SXS.

That Rem Super Mag has been my go to gobbler getter for a long time. Not that I'm averse to using a double, but it's hard to argue with success. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I do only use my doubles for upland birds and breaking clays.

if you guys can hit a flying clay target at 35 and 40 yds+ with a SxS(and i know you all can) you should be able to hit a standing turkey in the head at 25 yds with a SxS. just saying.

As the Bartles & James ad said, "Thank you for your support."

25 yards is one thing, PA birds are wary and tough. I've killed three in the past four seasons at 62 yards and more. That's where the red dot and TSS shot perform so well. If they hang up at 80 yards or closer, they will assume room temperature. I have confidence in the gun/ammo combination, and that's 90% of the battle.

My good friend Dave that hunts turkey and deer here sits in the blind with me. We've taken a few doubles over the years. That's very cool when we both shoot within seconds and there are two gobblers on the ground. He's witnessed two of those long shots. His comment after the 2023 bird was "I have to get some of those shells. I never thought you could kill a bird that far away."
