What Shotgun, Load and Choke are you Running for 2025?

I'm starting to look forward to the Turkey Season, which isn't until April, but with this frigid weather it'll give me something to consider. I intend to purchase a new semi-auto shotgun for this year's season, but haven't settled on which one, just yet. I'll be starting from scratch for choke tube restriction sizes and shot size and type, but I'm anticipating good things on patterning paper.

What shotgun, load, choke tube are you running this year?

If I ever got back into chasing those stupid birds, I’d be toting a .410 with TSS in its chamber…..
Seems like more of a challenge……

You said it, brother....they are goofy as they get.
It never ceases to amaze me, how I can set up a ground blind 20 yards away from the edge of the woods, in a bare fields, put a couple of hens and a jake on the other side of the blind and watch them walk right past me to the decoys and get blasted. I don't even call, just sit and wait.

Yet, if I set up that same scenario, inside the woods, those same birds are extremely aware, cagey and aloof to calls, decoys, etc.
