Thanks guys. I'm probably going to see how the choke that came with my barrel patterns, then go from there. I made a trip up to BassProShop yesterday afternoon to see what they had as far as turkey loads go. A buddy recommended a duplex shot with a mix of #4 and #6, but I couldn't find that there(found duplex loads, just not that mix).

Here is what I got to try:

HEVISHOT - 3" - #4 shot - 2oz - 2 boxs (5ea)
Remington Nitro Turkey - 3" - #4 shot - 1 7/8oz - 1 box (10ea)
Winchester Supreme Elite Hi-Density Turkey Load - 3" - #4 shot - 1 3/4oz - 1 box (10ea)
Winchester Supreme Elite Hi-Density Turkey Load - 3" - #5 shot - 1 3/4oz - 1 box (10ea)

I also brought Stanley, my Bullmastiff, with me. One of my wife's coworkers said that BassProShops are dog friendly, and sure enough they are. It was hilarious to see people's reactions because I don't think most people realize you can bring a dog in there, or expect to see one. I kept having people walk by looking shocked and whispering to whoever they were with, then have them circle around and ask to pet him.

He of course loved the attention, but the biggest thing to him was watching the big fish through the glass in the fish tank they have. He's seen small fish on the edge of a pond before looking down into the water, but of course they take off as soon as he steps foot in the pond. He was very intrigued that these fish were much bigger, and didn't swim away when he put his nose to the glass. I'm pretty sure he was trying to figure out a way to get at them.
