    Sling shots

    Curious if others have recommendations for a "quality" sling shot. I carry rubber tubing in my pack, in case I have to make one under a worst case situation.

    Turkey shotgun?

    A buddy has invited me to the lower 48 for a turkey hunt. I presently have a 20 ga mod, but was considering upgrading to a Rem 870 express super mag 12ga? Anyone have any other shotgun choices to consider (I am happy with the 12ga choice as opposed to a 10ga or 8ga) for turkeys?
