I don't know where you are, but I would check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 He's in SW Georgia. According to your state's publication, you have to use #2 or smaller shot. There is no stipulation on non-toxic shot, so you can use whatever suits you in that regard. Steel 4's killed a gobbler for me while one a duck hunt Thanksgiving 2008, no problem. He was gobbling on the ridge behind our blind and the ducks weren't doing much. I crawled up the ridge and setup behind a big log. I yelped by mouth and he came in strutting and gobbling. Yes, it was Thanksgiving. I nailed him at about 20 yards and he rolled down the ridge like a sack of potatoes. He stopped rolling about 12 feet from the blind, dead as a doornail. Steel isn't the best choice for turkeys, but it will do the job, as long as you know the limitations. I like copper-plated lead 5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I wasnt saying it was a good choice just wandering . Then perhaps you should save up for a good GPS. I thumped a doe with #4 Black Clouds this year and she didn't go far at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog2 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Anything bigger than #4's lead, steel or whatever will get you in trouble in Mo. Why really bother, hard to beat 2oz of #6's @ 30 yards. That is if you do your part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
