8, 15, and 50 this year.  Woods average is around 25 and fields is probably 35.

Around 20 yards for most. Closest was 5 yards, and furthest was 54 yards by accident, but I killed him.

WildSpur

Mine average about 35 yards.  I hunt big timber so anything closer is an exception.

Cluck more, yelp less

I don't step off many of them but I'd say about 30 yards would be average.  :funnyturkey:

Once I know there inside 40 there dead, or least I hope for them to be.  I always try to set up where I have at most a 30 yard shot.

Never really kept track by average.  Closest was probably 6-7 yards and longest pushed 40 yards.  Ideally, I like them to be in the 25-35 yard range.  No turkey can walk though my gun's pattern at those distances and there is less likelihood of shooter error as is possible with real close in shots.

If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

My closest was around 5-6', farthest probably 35 yards, probably 20-25 average.
