Handgun hunting for turkeys.

[bigbore442001]

I do wish that one of the New England states would allow us to take this noble bird with a handgun. I think it would be quite a challenge to take them with a TC Contender in 22 WRM or 22 Hornet.

One could go to some place like Virginia or some other southern state but I see guided hunts for birds in this area at a high price. I just would not pay that amount for a bird.

Has anyone here taken a bird with a handgun?

In PA they are illegal for Spring Gobbler Season...shotguns only.

In Illinois you can also use a bow to take a spring turkey. Quite the challenge to get big tom in bow range and pull the bow under his wary eyes.

I would love to be able to legaly use my TC Contender with the 10 " .22 barrel I have.

We can use handguns in the Fall Season in PA along with rifles. Seems must guys carry shotguns in both Spring & Fall Seasons though.
