or tell me the difference in killing one at 50 with a shotgun and at 100 yards with a rifle.....you ain't called up either one....


Whats the difference in 50 yards and 30 yards?

60 feet, you still called him up either way.
If you or anyone else doesn't want to shoot one that far its fine, but don't act like its not hunting to do it.

I dont care if you want to kill them all with a .410 @ 20 yards but dont bash someone else for wanting there gun to shoot ethically a little farther.

Its just how I feel but a turkeys fair game anyway and anyhow within the laws. Im there to kill them, the end. I enjoy the hunt and the time in the woods, but feel I have won when hes flopping.

To any other beliefs, if it makes you satisfied then that's all that matters.

Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
