I normally don't hunt them in the spring....but if they strut through the back yard?...Win., XXX, BBx4 in the 28" FC 870 does just fine.

YUP Kinda.
My 870 30" barrel extra full extended ported choke. Home rolled 3 1/2" 2 oz load of #6 nickle plated lead at 1400 fps. If I anticipate long range shot I go to my coyote load of Lead f's. I shoot 75 yards plus on coyotes and have the shot go all they way through... If you want to talk recoil, my 870 loads are WAY worse then any 8 mm's I have tried. In the fall we can shoot toms and hen with any rifle.

Use Federal factory loads 12ga in 3"/#5 shot. Mossberg 500 with X-full extended choke w/24"bbl.
Use call and decoy to bring 'em in lots closer than 75 yds....more like less than 35 yds.

Last one I shot last year was with an arrow.
I like my 20 ga single with 2 3/4 #6. Seldom shoot over 15 yards.
