Favorite range?

[chatterbox]

What is everyone's favorite range for killing a bird and why?
I know there are a ton of variables, but I 'm sure if you could pick one to hammer birds at all day long, you guys would have one.
I personally like 30 yards. I can see everything I need to see, I know my pattern is gonna have developed nicely, and there is less ability for him to spook because he's still out there a ways.

Just what I was thinking!!  Couldn't sum it up any better.

I voted 30-35 yds. I will say tho that I used to hunt with a old fellow who would always tell me "I'll let him get close enough so I can poke him with the barrel that way I know I want miss"

When I read the title of the post I thought, Amana,or Kenmore,maybe Fridgidaire. Dang I need to get out of the house. 

20 yds - at least . Any closer and I hyper ventilate.

I always like to see how close I can get em before sending them to valhalla,  That being said, When a bird is so close you can smell him...let's just say adrenaline does funny stuff to your vision, your hearing, your sphincter...

I like em around 30-35 to allow the pattern to open up a bit.  Killed a pile of em really close, but there's always a chance of missing them with the slug like patterns from a turkey choke at close range.

I picked the 30 yard mark, would rather have them too close then too far.

i like them around 20 to 25yds. when you have them close it really makes the ole heart pump. knowing that if i dont do my part and if he picks me out the hunt is over.that kind of excitement is what keeps me going back day after day.nothing like it

IMO there is no such thing as too close.  I like to get a little splatter on me.

30 -35 yards is ideal for me but it all depends on the bird and the situation at hand.
I thought shooting range at first glance glad I read on.

[guesswho]

85 yards!  If I miss him I wan't a valid excuse.  Since 85 is not an option I'll take 20-25.  I can always so they were to close.
