Hi,
I'm planning to get into hunting wild turkey next season. I have 3 shotguns, all 12 ga. A Mossberg 500, Winchester Model 12 (Full choke), and Ithaca 37 (Full choke).
Which gun would you guys recommend using? Are the full chokes sufficient for turkeys or do I need to get an aftermarket X-Full choke which automatically selects the Mossberg 500 as it takes screw in chokes?
I was leaning towards the Model 12 and I thought the Ithaca 37 might be too light in weight for turkey loads.
The M12 is 1955 and M37 is 1948. Can I shoot modern copper plated lead turkey loads in them? And since they are 2 3/4'' chambers, what type of shotshell oz loads should I use and shot size?
Lastly, regarding camouflage, I have a US surplus woodland parka, will that suffice or do I need to get Mossy Oak or RealTree dedicated camo?
