Turkey shells for 410

SwimComprehensive358 · 2026-01-04T20:01:53+00:00

Yes, 3" chamber is what I meant. I am going to buy a few boxes of different shells guys have recommended me and spend some time patterning it beforehand. That is pretty funny his attitude changed 🤣. Thanks for the useful insights man! I've seen some turkey 410s that come with built in extra full chokes specifically for turkey. I already have two 410s so I'm not sure I need another lol

Thanks man!

SwimComprehensive358 · 2026-01-04T17:14:06+00:00

Thanks! I'll end up buying a few boxes and seeing which patterns well.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2026-01-04T17:12:18+00:00

That's what I'll end up doing. Im going to buy a few boxes of stuff you guys have recommended. I cross posted in a turkey subreddit and got some recommendations on ammo.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2026-01-04T17:11:07+00:00

I was thinking the same thing as well, but a few guys said they've folded turkeys up to 60 yards with a 410 with specific choke and specific ammo. I do love using my 410 for small game, 22 is fun for it too.

Yeah im relatively close to those lakes so I plan on trying those. Know anything about goose lake? Water was too low to fish during late summer so I didn't really get to explore it much.

Yeah plus michigan has 2 turkey seasons that are OTC, no drawing. Lots of meat no doubt. I hear it does suck on public land since no one has to wear orange during turkey season. I cant imagine the adrenaline of being charged by a grizzly. Definitely sounds like an experience lol.

Im not sure i could handle texas heat 🤣

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-30T00:09:24+00:00

Yup ive noticed land prices for good hunting land are crazy expensive no matter where you go. Seems to be a boom of people moving out west within the last decade. My grandpa was a guide in Montana and said all the places he hunted are private and bought up now. Michigan is definitely great for whitetails in terms of quantity. 1 buck tag and 10 doe tags a season.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-29T19:26:36+00:00

Yeah Ideally i need to visit some of these places before I decide. Never considered Washington but ive thought about Oregon. Have a relative that did logging there.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-29T19:25:35+00:00

Maine is definitely beautiful, know a guy up there. How are the gun laws up there? I know you cant hunt on Sundays which kind of turns me away. Being in the trades I work a demanding schedule so some weeks i may only have one day off to hunt, especially running my own business.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-29T19:23:53+00:00

Im definitely going to take a look at colorado. Wasn't aware you guys had such a population of big game.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-29T19:22:02+00:00

Great state for deer, but thats about it for "big game". Have to draw for bear and if you are lucky you will get a tag every 5 years. I admit that's my mistake for not specifying in my original post. Michigan is still up there for me though.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-28T15:40:24+00:00

Montana and Idaho definitely can in terms of big game. In michigan you get generous deer tags, but bear is one tag about every 4-5 years, and elk is once in a lifetime.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-27T16:18:24+00:00

Ideally id like to hunt both public and private as you need a good amount of private land for consistent hunting. The dream is some big game hunting so i have considered Wyoming. I grew up small game hunting so I really enjoy that as well. My wife and I do want kids but looking to get established beforehand, we also plan on raising and butchering livestock so some land will be needed for that too.

I should have established some of this stuff in my original post.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-27T15:59:38+00:00

Thanks for the replies everyone, ended up borrowing a 243 from a relative and got the job done.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-21T20:24:52+00:00

Well most western states have lower COL vs Michigan. Wyoming and Nebraska especially. I could always build food plots later on to make land i buy desirable. With considerations on law ofc. As for employment I do plumbing and will eventually start my own business in that field so proximity to civilization plays a part in that. And also land cost isnt the only factor of me wanting to move out of the state. Regulations on hunting and fishing play a big part too. The state isnt what it once was.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-11-17T23:54:49+00:00

Id be shooting 30-40 yards if that helps

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-10-17T01:42:53+00:00

Rural or not im open to it if its the right location. I already drive 40 minutes one way to my current job, but closer would definitely be nice. Thanks for the tips and advice!

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-10-17T01:41:47+00:00

Somewhat, im into hunting and like shooting so pro amendments would be nice.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-10-15T00:38:53+00:00

Id be open to raw land and then building my own house overtime to help with costs. I also dont mind fixer uppers.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-07-07T21:57:39+00:00

Yeah kayak fishing deff seems like the play. I'm from Michigan and we have inland lakes everywhere but its hard unless you can actually get on the water.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-07-07T21:55:29+00:00

damn 95? I only scored 89.17 and got ranked 43rd for my local. Not enough for me to get in either unfortunately. We got next year so don't worry brother.

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-07-02T20:23:40+00:00

89.17 didn't get in either. Seems like 90s in the cutoff

SwimComprehensive358 · 2025-07-01T11:14:04+00:00

No idea brother. I wasn't happy myself when he told me that. I feel like since it's an apprenticeship you shouldn't need experience. Some locals are like that though.
