Emcgehee Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 410 pattern (pics) With 20 pellets in the kill zone, I was quite impressed. I set the decoys at 10 yards outside the blind as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole14bowhunting Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 410 pattern (pics) That's a nice pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 That should work. Without looking back at the regs from our most recent handbook I am wanting to say that best as I remember .410's are not legal here for turkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emcgehee Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 410 pattern (pics) So they expect a 6 yr old to shoot a 20ga? I can barely get him to shoot the 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emcgehee Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 410 pattern (pics) It doesn't say anything about it not being legal. Methods: The following are allowed during the spring firearms turkey hunting season: a shotgun with shot not larger than No. 4 a longbow or compound bow. Hand-held string releasing devices, illuminated sights, scopes and quick point sights are allowed. The following are prohibited: shotguns capable of holding more than 3 shells in magazine and chamber combined shot larger than No. 4 (in use or in possession) a bow fastened to a stock or other device that maintains the bow in a drawn position any sighting device that casts a beam of light on the game thermal imagery equipment or night vision equipment (in use or in possession) recorded calls (in use or in possession) use of dogs or live decoys use of bait, which includes grain or other feed placed or scattered so as to attract turkeys. An area is considered baited for 10 days even after complete removal of the bait. A hunter can be in violation even if he or she did not know an area was or is baited. It is illegal to place bait in a way that causes others to be in violation of the baiting rule. Voiding the Permit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I found where Tennessee proposed this April of 2011: Proclamation 11-11 Manner and Means of Hunting, Taking, and Trappingo Remove gauge restrictions for turkey hunting (legalizes .410) TWRA Makes Hunting Seasons Good luck to you. My 7 year old just got his first turkey using a youth 20ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 that'll work... yea a 20ga on sticks is what i'd go with, but a single shot 410 is probably much easier to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I found where Tennessee proposed this April of 2011: Proclamation 11-11 Manner and Means of Hunting, Taking, and Trappingo Remove gauge restrictions for turkey hunting (legalizes .410) TWRA Makes Hunting Seasons Good luck to you. My 7 year old just got his first turkey using a youth 20ga. Thanks, I went back after seeing your post here and looked and the regs for the 2012 spring turkey do not mention any gauge restriction. So it looks like for Tennessee now a .410 would be legal. Good luck to you and your son Emcgehee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
