Good post BT!!An excellent rule of thumb is take the first available shot inside your own firearms lethal distance!Pressured gobblers and satellite birds do alot of peeking and often times just a head and neck is all your going to see.Also a seasoned gobbler in most cases isn' t going to stay around for long and usually gives you few opportunities so,TAKE THE SHOT!In my mind after harvesting lets just say a few gobblers in my time,sqeezing the trigger and knowing when to do it are the easiest part of the hunt!If you cant hit a Pepsi can at 25 yards with a scatter gun that in many cases is stationary then something is obviously wrong!!The key is knowing your firearms capabilities which as BT and Paul point the way by practicing on the range and a readiness afield to take that shot!!
