While I agree with you on getting them up close & personal, you can misjudge yardage. Especially in open areas. Last year I shot a turkey at what I thought was 40 yds, when I stepped it off it was 50 yds. I was using Wincheste HV#6. It picked the bird off his feet and sat him down. He twitched one time. But the main key in avoiding wounded turkeys is knowing what your gun & shell combo will do at what yardages. I shoot in NWTF Still
Target Competitions. I know what my gun will do. I had druther take one at 25-35 yds but sometimes that may not be possible. I have passed close shots because I wasn't comfortable with the shot.
