    Got em in Ga at 65 steps with the 870 super with 3.5 in shells of the TSS. Watched this bird gobble and strut for an hour over his two hens while I hid behind a big pine tree trying to get him to move 20 feet to his right or left. I finally got him to do it and said a prayer that these shells are as good as they say. Rolled him. Beard was just a hair under ten inch. Spurs a hair over 1 inch. (One spur was broke a bit) and he weighed 22 lbs. Biggest ugliest neck and head I have ever seen. Great hunt. Got his little brother the day before. Good bird too. Just not this nice.

    Wow! Those heavy shot shells seem to work well. What choke?
