I lucked up and got one yesterday weighed 16lbs with only a ten inch beard and 1 3/8in spurs but it was plenty of fun getting him. The season started last saturday in NC. Good luck to all. What type of turkey choke do you guys and gals use and the load use with it? I am looking to get a good choke tube for my 12ga and 20ga.
