CAN TURKEYS BE HUNTED WITH A .410?

[bruski]

Hmm...The ad makes for fun reading but the 413bis may be a little OTT.

Nice looking gun, may make a wider fore end for mine.

Still, I'll see how it shoots first.

Cheers B.

Tested it today with 5, 6 and 7.5 shot.

Best pattern was at 25 yards with 7.5's.

Guess that'll be my max. distance (more or less).

Now just need to go and find a bird.

Cheers B.

I have not been able to post for a little while, not that I was missed. I was Only able to go turkey hunting 3 times this year due to a sucker punch from my now ex-wife. I went on an overnight fishing trip to return to divorce papers and bank accounts depleted. Still working through the finals but here is a nice turkey killed with my double 410.

I’m no longer too concerned with how far the Catskill Gathering is for you. No excuses. I’ll bring fresh blueberries. Cobbler ?

You WERE missed  .....not many people have hunted turkeys with a 410 as long as you, and long before the magic powder miracle shot was invented..

I'll try, I'm one of those pinch and dash cooks.

 

2 lbs of cooked shredded turkey

 

Place about 2 lbs of raw turkey in a bowl with

2 tbsp of olive oil

1 tsp of cumin powder

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 tsp dry oregano

2 tsp dry parsley 

1/4 cup lemon juice

 

Mix well coating turkey meat. Place turkey in a pan cover with aluminum foil,  seal the edges well and bake at 350 for 11/2 hours until turkey is tender. Shred turkey and set aside.

 

1 large white onion diced

3 tbsp olive oil

1 bulb of garlic minced

1 yellow bell pepper diced

5 good sized jalapenos diced (remove seeds       and pulp, you can use habanero peppers if you want it extra spicy)

2 15 oz cans of great northern beans(rinsed and drained)

1 cup of sliced mushrooms

1 cup of frozen white corn

2 cups of chicken broth

2 tsp powdered cumin

1 tsp powdered coriander

1 tbsp ground white pepper

1/2 cup dry white wine

Juice of 1 lime (just under 1/4 cup)

1/2 cup sour cream

Shredded pepper jack cheese to garnish

 

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add the yellow bell pepper, jalapenos and cook for 5 minutes.  Add the chicken broth, cumin, coriander, white pepper, beans, mushrooms, corn, shredded turkey, wine and lime juice. Bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer for about 35 to 40 minutes. Add salt to your liking. Add the sour cream, stir well and serve hot with pepper jack cheese for a garnish. Jalapeno bacon corn bread or garlic bread is great with this chili.

 

Enjoy!

[rolawson]

DD Huntress,

 Thanks so much for the recipe. I can not wait to try it out.

 

Tim,

 Lead 7 1/2 is all I use. I like the Federal Premium.
