20 Ga. for turkeys?

Mark: I also like to stalk the bird. If I know there are no other hunters in the area. Two years ago I glassed a bird all buffed up doing a dance about 50 yds away. I had a push caller in my shirt pocket and went tree to tree purr clucking away. Every time I clucked, he buffed up and moved a little. We did this love song routine until I coaxed him to about 20 yds. Bang! Took him to a local smoke house. Yummie. I used my 12 ga. 3" mag with 5's, Xtra full choke. Federal turkey load. Head and neck were mince meat. A 20ga would have done in this guy at that range.
