More wise words.... I like to see the bird come in close. 60 yards is a rifle shot for me when deer huntingI will never attempt a bird at 60 yards, nor 50 yards, and not likely at 40.......If you cannot call one in less than 35 yards then you need to practice your calling.......not buy shells to help ......
I haven't had one get up and leave when I shoot them with #5s in a 3 inch shell under 35 yds......just sayin
If you see a gobbler with a bandage around his head......he probably got swiped with some TSS at 60-80 yards....
Disclaimer: the above is merely one mans opinion and is not intended to really step on toes , but it is how I roll and how I teach those that hunt with me....
