12 gauge

Forgot your binoculars? No problem. You can use your turkey call as a makeshift set of binoculars. Just cup your hands around the side of the call that amplifies sound and look through the small hole.

20 gauge

A 20 gauge is a good choice for turkey hunting. It has enough power to kill a turkey, but is not so powerful that it will destroy the meat. It is also a good choice for smaller framed hunters who may have trouble handling a 12 gauge.

410

Turkey hunters often choose to use a 410 shotgun because of its light weight and maneuverability. Its small size also makes it easier to carry in the woods and more convenient to store.
