RE: Effective range of 12 ga. 3 and 1/2" loads
107 yards?!?!?! That guy shouldn't even be allowed to turkey hunt. Sounds like he needs to put down his shotgun and pick up his call more often. If you can't call 'em in closer than that then you need to practice some more so you can get then to come in. Either that or work on your strategy/set up. Keep your shots within 50 yards no matter what your shooting unless you know without a doubt your gun setup can effective and reliably kill a turk out past that range. I think most ethical fair chase hunters would agree.....and you get more out of the hunt. If you are looking for a more challenging turkey hunt then try chasing them with a bow.
