RE: Longest distance to shoot at turkey
GMIL saved me the typing. I strive to stay in that 40 yard range. I have only killed one bird past 30 and that was last year. He was 53 yards and I did not think so. I was sneaking around on him as he strutted down a gasline. The hen got to where I wanted to go before I did so after a belly crawl and straining from my stomach to see him he entered. I clucked, he gobbled and stretched his head. He fell where he stood but it took him a few extra seconds to die. I have the gun and the shells but I like to hit em hard when they are real close. I know the gas line is 40 yards wide and he was in it, but his angle and my straining blurred the situation.
