Oh, the carnage would be horrendous! Upside is there would be a lot of wolf bait available. On the other hand, even a starving wolf has their limits on what they would eat.Originally Posted by Redthies

how far south should i guy go?

I'm not familiar with the turkeys over there, but I know they are near Cranbrook and south to the border. I would not doubt they are around Skookumchuck and Premiere Lake just because of the terrain there but I have not been there to see them. Coming all the way from Williams Lake, I hope that some will chime in to help you out. If not, I will be back home on Thursday night if you will be near Trail.

20 gauge
its a Mossberg 510 mini pump action, 3” chamber with an undertaker turkey choke and red dot scope. Deadly to 35 metres or more with a 3” turkey load.
He loves shooting it.
Twist and pull.

What is the recoil comparable to? My son is 13, but a lightweight <100# and looking for something that isn’t going to knock him on his but lol.

Recoil is very minor but not sure what to compare it to... My son is only 12, about 90lbs soaking wet, skinny as a rake. Has zero issues. Started shooting it about 1.5 years ago.
Nice thing about this gun is it’s not just got a shorter butt stock - the forend is located closer to the receiver, the length of pull is only 10 1/4”, short barrel, comes with multiple chokes and if I remember right there are stock spacers for the gun to grow with him.
Truly awesome for a young shooter. Just not easy to find. My buddy got one for his son originally and I was so impressed I searched for one - ended up Grandpa found one and gave it to him as a bday present.

My suggestion is going as far south as Skookumchuk to begin and then even venture down south by Fort Steele and anywhere south of Jaffray.
