The last two mornings now, there have been Toms a gobblin'. Can't hardly believe it with all the cold temps and deep snow around. West Michigan area.
I have a box on it way right now to pattern.

Federal Mag Shok turkey loads pattern pretty well for me. I cashed in some Bass Pro Shop points today for a set of new decoys. Can't wait for May!!

Ours doesn't come in until April 21 here in Ohio. I've only gotten one tag the last few years but I'm seeing a lot more sign this year while out shed hunting so I will probably try for two this year.
That's what I use in my Mossberg 500 but every couple of years I try a different load just to see. I've tried the nitros, hevi-shot, and two different Winchesters so far the Federals pattern the best.

I agree! Might be hunting them in the snow here in PA for the first time. Global warming snow from al gore. Best of luck to everyone!

Don't forget the Permithrin for ticks! My wife contracted Lymes several years ago and it is no laughing matter. Prevention is much easier than the cure.

A good Rino suit works well also. And spray down. Va. has infestation of ticks during turkey season.

I'm going with heavy shot this season. Magnum Blend 4,5&6 Little more $ but thought I'd give it a shot in the 12 gauge.
But opening day I want to use the 1830 percussion 20 gauge , I roll my shot in sleeves and crimp the ends. I'll do some patterning Friday before I hunt Saturday.

I have an archery tag that opens May 1st here in MN. If the birds stick to the schedule they have been keeping, I might be able to tag one with my new Elite before the MT Bear trip.
