[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5103688, member: 2871"] First; welcome to this forum. You have some options. As some others have said, I would recommend 20 ga. for a youth with #5 or #6 shot, pattern the gun, and keep all shots at turkeys within 30 yards or so. Always go for a head shot. Actually, I put aside my modern firearms some 25 or 30 years ago and mostly use only traditional style muzzleloaders. (yes I do use a modern gun from time to time) I use a 20 ga. flintlock fowler for turkey and all small game. Mine is a replica of a fowling piece that was common in the 1740's. Real black powder, of course. (Try that if you want a real challenge) But, you being in NY with all its restrictions probably makes it hard enough. My cousin lives in Rome, NY and he is a hunter safety instructor there. His wife recently bagged a large tom turkey. [/QUOTE]
