Smoked turkey?

Daddy

Would love to try it one of these days, but three kids, a mortgage and a factory job don't lend themselves to a "luxury" gun.  I am toying with the idea of hunting with my bow this year.  Might try taking the first with a shotgun, and then getting out the Evolution.  We're allowed two birds here in Ohio, and though I've called in and killed several birds with the 870 Rem. I still consider myself a beginner.  My house is in the woods, and weather has been mild, so I half expect to hear a gobble every time I step out on the back deck.  Any suggestions on an entry level smoke pole turkey gun?  Maybe I'll hit one of the super bowl pools.


Regards, hickory

Mine is a Knight TK2000. It is a lot of fun to shoot.

Found one @ Cabelas.com for $350.00.  I could probably swing that, I figured much more expensive.  You have preferred load to start me on the right foot?  Tru-glo sights or red dot?  I've never used a scope on a turkey gun, but lot's of people are using them.    :?
