I have used the 835, a 935, and now a Browning Maxus in 3.5” 12 gauges.
The 835 with the 20” barrel hurt as bad as anything I have ever shot. The 935 was honestly not that much better.
The Maxus is a good deal better. It’s more like an 870 or 1300 shooting 3” loads.

I think I’m going to pick up a Stevens 555 Compact in either 28 or 20 gauge this summer.

Re: What guns are you looking to buy?
I hear you on that! I like them 12-16 yards with the open barrel and 30-35 yards with the tight barrel.

Re: Turkey Hunting Public Land
Gil, that was a very kind gesture!
I don’t hunt public much but when I do, I try to treat others how I wish they would treat me. Wide berth, offer to hunt together at the gate, etc.

It is a must watch for all turkey hunters.

There’s at least a 2-1/2 ounce load and I believe a 2-5/8 ounce load I’ve seen guys shooting.

Re: Favorite Turkey?
I always reference the same couple of hunts when I get asked this. #1. The first double with my grandfather. #2. These are two old gobblers that ran together. My grandfather and his older brother hunted them 2 seasons and kept getting fooled by them. Late in April the second season, I asked if I cou...

Re: Mossburg 835
I always liked the Indian Creek 675, Mad Maxx 675, and Jellyhead 690 in the 835.
I’m quite sure Sumtoy would work well if he’d just call William and tell him what he wants to shoot. William will build the right choke for him.

Re: Mentoring
Unfortunately, kids that are interested in the outdoors are pretty rare these days. If the opportunity presents itself I’m always happy to jump on it but it’s been a few years.

Re: Shooting doubles
I’ve been through this and never had anyone have trouble understanding which bird or to actually shoot the wrong bird.
I have had some one shoot early on the count though

That is exactly like my youth 870 20 gauge! I got it either in 1996 or 1998, can’t remember if I was 8 or 10, but we’ve walked a lot of miles and killed a whole bunch of critters together!

Re: Remington 870 20 - choke options
I would buy the 575.
I’ve shot a Carlsons 575, a truglo GSX, and a SumToy 562 in my 21”. The SumToy was awesome with Hevi 6’s but too tight for me with TSS. I stuck with the Carlsons 575.
