Question- We debated this with some of our hunters. What firearm(s) can you use to take Spring turkey?
Rifle? Shotgun? Archery?
All the above?

All of the above, but not much skill shooting one with a rifle. Shotgun is my preferred method of hunting spring Turkey. I like to get call them in close and enjoy the adrenalin rush the hunt brings. Archery would be a blast but a lot more challenging with more movement buy the hunter.

I'm truly a bow hunter for big game animals in the fall. But DETEST hunting turkey with a bow in the springtime. If you want to fill tags you almost have to get in a tent....F__K sitting in a tent on a beautiful spring day when so much is active. Plus you get to scout for deer and sheds Shotgun it is!
But to each his own.
Agree with SJ on whats legal also
