Well,I'll have to go against the grain here.If you can call a bird in less than 60yds he's yours!Most Tom's hang up 75 to 100yds,so I feel if he's less than that.He's commited,and you've won the game.I hunt HIGHLY pressured public land where I can not be assured if I let a tom walk @50yds,that I can get anotherchance at him another day.I need a gun that can shoot 50-60yds,and my Super Mag has never let me down.
Not to offend, but if most toms hang up at 75 to 100 yds, then there is a setup problem.

I'd suggest setting up so that the turkey cannot see you until he is within gun range. Your percentages will go way up.

Yes you're right.That's what I was saying,most toms hang up 75-100yds.It's a hunting pressure problem,combined with a set up problem.Like I said if he's closer than 60 you win.
