The average range I have killed turkeys is 15 to 25 yards. The further out, the more chance of fliers hitting the body and tss shot is hard on teeth and #9s are easy to miss.

Gobblenut I assume they have cut open a few turkey skulls over the years and or x rayed them?  No idea why they would assume anything, if you ever hear a scientist talk they don't just go about making claims, can they be wrong of course but the anatomy of a turkey skull is something I would be confident they know well.

I too have seen birds that needed a reminder where I was but those a far less common than the ones that have it figured out, hell if I was listening to most turkey hunters call from the same location for an hour I am pretty sure I could pin point them as well.

It was on THP's youtube channel, you know the scourge of turkey hunting, the same ones who raised some substantial money for turkey research, hate them or not at least they are helping the resource in some fashion.

Thanks, have heard of them but do not know much about them. Will give it a listen

35-45 yds is my normal shot here. I've only taken 4 less than that. The open woods are the main challenge here and it is rare to get one that tight on public land without a terrain feature that forces it. As stated by others, I thoroughly pattern my guns and they are capable far beyond 40, but I choose to keep them to that range. When I went to SD, I would have reached out more with their wide open terrain.

I use woodhaven cover and put it in a Glenda green call pouch

It was an informative video. I believe they can pinpoint our calling location precisely but choose different routes or destinations to us on occasion due to terrain or just being turkeys.

Mexico City is the only place I'd avoid if possible.

Juarez is a bad place as well. When we went for our Gould's we met our outfitter in El Paso. From there we went to New Mexico to a small town that the outfitter said was much safer than going through Juarez.
