What is a good shotgun for turkey hunting?

I’m new to the turkey hunting scene and having only upland shotguns, what is a good type of shotgun for tukeys?

I know everyone will say something different, but I have no idea really.

What should I look for, and what should I avoid?

    I agree with sturno and bigd. The Remington 870 is one of the most versatile shotguns in the world. it does everything the fancy European shotguns can do, and it costs a lot less. I use my 12 guage Remington expressmag for everything from hunting turkeys to geese, ducks, quail, chuckars and pheasants. The most important thing for turkey hunting is to select a very tight choke. when its time to hunt turkeys i simply unscrew my modified choke and screw in my turkey choke. Load it up with some 3 inch heavyshot shotgun shells and you have yourself a lethal turkey killing machine! Good luck!

    *another thing about turkey hunting: its really important that you learn to call properly. most of the time when you are turkey hunting you will want to call them to you. Box calls are great for beginers, but a mouth diaphram can be really effective once you get the hang of it. Buy yourself an instructional vidio that goes over the diffent calls that turkeys make. practice at home before turkey season starts and you will have a huge advantage.
