Season runs from Mar 15 - May 1. 3 gobblers per Spring w/6" or longer beard. Just curious about using #4buck. I can get birdshot locally, but thanks for the offer. I was thinking that #4 buck might be better than birdshot at my likely ranges (50-75yds) since my 590 is a cylinder bore. Shot size laws don't apply on private land here. I can use whatever I like.

I always go for a head shot to keep from messing up the meet and I can't imaging a very tight pattern at these ranges using a cyl bore.
Hornady makes a round with a shot cup that works like a choke tube and does not need a tight constriction, as per their ad. LINKY

Haven't patterned at that range, but I was thinking that's pushing it some. Might just stick with my .22mag. I'll look into the Hornady. Thanks.
