Remember this from when I first started, part of the "learning" from our state DNR and was considered at the time 5-7 pellets in the vertebrae and brain (kill area), of course it probably only takes 1 of those.

Judging from the Turkey gun pattern section I would say about 972 pellets in a 3" circle is what it takes to effectively kill turkeys. Just barely though.
Ha Ha Isn't that the truth. I get a kick out of it myself but I do understand the logic behind it. Maybe one day I will play the number game...

;D :TooFunny: Yeah, some guys take this TSS thing too far. To each their own. I'm gonna try out TSS in the 3" 20 ga I built, but just because I'm used to shooting 3-1/2" #4's out of a 12 ga land cannon!! :fud:

It takes 1.  The thing is having enough to guarantee that you get 1, that's called pattern density and effective range.  Know and understand this.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
