			Too small for my comfort level.    If these two guys can do it, good for them.  I don't doubt a responsible, well practiced hunter with good shot selection and patience can do it if they want to.  Most hunters (including myself) would be better served by at least a 20 guage.   Range estimation is too difficult and the difference between 25 yards and 30 yards could mean the difference between an adequate and inadequate pattern.   
 
Factory loads promoting hunting turkeys with a .410 would be like advertising a VW bug to pull a horse trailer.    
 
If you need a challenge, try hunting them with a rifle instead.      I know it's legal in some states.   My favorite writer, G. Sitton, used to write about hunting Turkeys with a small centerfire rifle.    
 
Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done.   I respect the game I'm hunting and want to make sure I do the best job I can for a clean, efficient kill.
