An extension of their M3500 line, Stoeger has debuted the Predator/Turkey Special. With the pistol grip so indicative of a modern turkey gun, the M3500 features a 12 ga., 3 1/2 inch chamber, and semi-automatic, inertia-driven operation. This latter component is contained primarily within the receiver, intended to promote more centered balance and swing. A ported barrel reduces muzzle rise and recoil, working with the SteadyGrip pistol-grip buttstock to help hunters get back on target quicker. Chambered to take from 2 3/4- up to 3 1/2-inch magnum loads without adjustment, the shotgun’s receiver is drilled and tapped to mount the included Weaver 93 base. Should an optic not be desired, a fiber-optic front sight sits atop the 24-inch barrel. Fully camouflaged in Mossy Oak Overwatch, the official camouflage pattern of your NRA, the M3500 Predator/Turkey Special comes with two extended Mojo hunting chokes, and a paracord sling. With a 4+1 capacity, the M3500 Predator/Turkey Special weighs in at seven and a half pounds. For more information, please visit stoegerindustries.com. MSRP: $929

With whitetail populations in some areas exceeding management goals, many states are offering special seasons, extra tags, and other incentives to entice hunters to get out there early and more often. States also offer early opportunities for many other big-game species; in fact, there are so many opportunities that it can be difficult to even keep up with your own state, whereas early seasons across state boundaries can easily be missed out on.
