28ga for turkeys?

[Longhunter]

I'm heading out today for my turkey grounds. I'm taking my 20 and my 12ga. I've got a 28ga smoothbore built by Jack Hubbard that I've used successfully on rabbits and squirrels. I'm thinkin it would be a real challenge to take a turkey with it. I'd probably have to limit my shots to 20yd's and under. Whatdaya think?

depends on what patern she is throwing  with what charge Ron .
 if  your getting 10-15 BB in the head and neck at 30 yards  and those BB are still clearing through a 1/4 inch backer board . then IMO no real reason to shorten the range

Try it out on the neighbors rooster Ron, ya could always say the rooster went rogue!

and yet Minnesota will not let you hunt with a muzzleloader of less than 12 ga.....

My wife over the last two years has taken 3 turkeys with her 28 ga(.54) smoothrifle.  It works for her.  An 80 grain load of powder with the same volume of homemade drip shot for each one.  I think the advantage she has is she was never told it couldn't be done (or that she needed a big 10 or 12 guage) so she just goes ahead and does it.
