I agree with the rest of the guys here. The .410 is not the ideal gun for turkey hunting, and especially not the gun to introduce somebody to turkey hunting, or hunting for that matter.

If you really want a challenge, use a bow to hunt turkey. Plenty of people do it and the turkeys have to almost on top of you. Me, I don't think I would be able to have the patience to hunt them with a bow or a .410. Plus, I am the kind of person that wants every advantage that I can legally get. I hunt deer with a rifle in rifle zones, slug guns in slug zones, and bows when they are the only thing allowed.

The only way I would hunt turkeys with a .410 is if it was the only gun I had and the only shells I had.

I would also like to see these guys pattern their guns in front of me. I would really like to see them put 12 pellets in the kill zone consistantly. Also, if they say they never lost a bird, then they haven't been hunting enough of them. Nobody is perfect given enough chances to screw up.
