[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5315257, member: 1409"] While shucking a 2nd round into the chamber is noisy . . . . . . . I've yet to see a pump action that wouldn't occasionally make a metallic noise (loud enough to spook at turkey) just from carrying or repositioning for a shot. For that reason alone, I'd prefer a single-shot break-open shotgun over a pump-action for my turkey hunting. Fortunately, I have two break-open double-barreled turkey shotguns, and two auto-loading dedicated turkey guns, so should never need to be afield with a single-shot weapon :) As to taking a 2nd shot, it just depends on the circumstances. If I really believe I've totally "missed", I'm with you, in that will not take a shot then at a running or flying bird. But if I know I've wounded it, I'm inclined to make a follow-up killing shot.
