Yes I ranged him with a rangefinder before the shot. Both where with #6 federal lead loads. Maybe I pulled the shots a little I don't know. What I do know is they were not killed cleanly with the first shot. Switched to hevi shot 5's and after a few birds I realized it was way overkill for the ranges I shoot. Switched to 6's and haven't had a problem since. I have no doubt that there are a few using tss and keeping it a close range game. But I bet the majority aren't. That's purely my opinion of course. Both winchester and hevishot have done hunting a disservice promoting the ranges that they do.

I could get behind a few of these but there are a couple that I'd have to take a hard pass on. It would be hard to get rid of blinds for turkey hunting without also effecting deer hunters. Goes back to the "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" idea. Some land is nearly impossible to deer hunt without a blind as there are no good trees to place a stand nor is there proper concealment. I don't find sitting in a blind to be any "lazier" than sitting in a stand. Actually, I've been busted (by deer as I don't use a blind for turkeys and don't plan to) more often in a blind than in a tree. By getting rid of TSS, all tungsten based shot would have to go. If I'm not mistaken, this would eliminate Hevishot as well as the federal heavyweight. The problem therein lies that when lead shot is banned in places (and eventually nationwide) you're going to run out of options. I'm not cracking on you in any fashion as you and I have had these discussions at length on numerous occasions but by eliminating some of these things I believe it sets us up for future issues. Once they start to micro manage the slope can get slippery in a hurry.

You can calm yourself down. Remember it's an opinion. If you dont like it it doesn't hurt my feelings one bit and I expect you to feel the same about mine. Moving on.I'm plenty calm, your the one getting flustered, because you are stating nothing more than opinion, and myself and others are stating fact. Just because you state your opinion, doesn't make you the almighty on this forum, so you should calm yourself down as well.I truly hope you are kidding about this being the only turkey literature on the web, because that's far from the truth.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
