I don't really predator hunt, yet, but I have the utmost confidence in the .20 ga. and a nice tight choke. I know the hevi shot hits turkeys like a hammer and patterns extremely well. They make a dead coyote load that my friends use. Its awesome!
We have only killed paper thus far. My intent is for my daughter to shoot a cow elk this year with it tho. I will post pics and a report if we are fortunate to get one!
My brother killed a raghorn 5x5 bull elk in Wyoming with an Interbond. .277- 150 gr. I believe. Shot it with his WSM at...
I really like the 120 gr. BT in the -08. It shoots fantastic in my Wife's rifle.
I have posted these before but... It shoots most anything I load under an inch. The 200 yard target was shot without a rest off a table. Its under 1/2" off a rest at 100 yards.
I have had great luck with my Carlson's extended chokes. I run the extended mid range chokes for waterfowl and the turkey extended choke. No complaints!
So I took my Wife and youngest daughter out for their first turkey hunt! Opening morning yielded a couple of close calls but no shots. That evening we snuck into a great spot and set up our hen decoy. I called in two separate groups of birds and my Wife, and then my daughter each tagged out...
I use my trusty ole 870 with a Primos turkey choke and Hevi shot magnum blend. It patterns well and has killed turkeys further out than I care to say!
We leave Friday for the 2016 hunt. My Wife will use a Tri Star 12 ga. With a Carlson's turkey choke and Hevi shot. My daughter will use her...
Fantastic results! I am shooting the 150 gr. BT out of my .270 Win. I use the H 4831 at 2875 out of a 24" barrel. It is a hammer on muleys. I love the 150 gr. BT!
Elk can be a very tough critter when hit poorly. When hit properly they die like all the rest. A .308 will cleanly handle any elk under 400 yards when hit properly. I have seen the 7mm-08 cleanly and routinely handle elk out to 400 yards with 140 gr. AB's. One shot kills.
Caliber and...
I have owned a handful of shotguns. I duck hunt quite a bit. I keep going back to the 12 ga. 870. It is a very user friendly, functional gun. The action actually gets smoother with about 100 rounds through it.
I shoot a carlson's mid range choke. I do a mixture of pass shooting and...
