Work on your calling, setup, purring, those things will bring the birds in closer...


I'm not going to go on and on with you, but you don't know anything about me. Other than the fact that I shot at one turkey at 50 yards and didn't kill it. That is the only turkey I've ever shot at that distance. I usually shoot birds within 15 yards. You have no idea of my setups, calling abilities, etc. just because I shot at 1 bird and didn't kill it, means zero. If you can sit here and tell me that you've never shot at one that far or ever had one get away, then either you're a liar or haven't had too many encounters with a turkey. I'm not a puppy, I've been around the block. I came for advice, not criticism. But I have shot many several thousand dollar setups with every choke and port and polished yadda yadda crap a shotgun can have and there's no magic weapon. Birds that get hit at ridiculous distances with one shot are 99.9% of the time killed with 1 to very few pellets.
