Just Courious?

I'm as guilty as the next guy but with all the talk about how far your gun will shoot, and then all the coin we drop on calls to call them in close...how close was your closest kill?


I'll start, 6 steps.

[Greenshed Longbeard]

I was almost attacked so I had to shoot 12 yards.

[guesswho]

My closet last year was roughly 10-12 feet.  That's about as close as I've ever killed one.

[R AJ]

Maybe three steps and instead of I almost missed I'll state that I barely hit.

2nd bird I ever killed about 3or 4 yrds he caught me sleeping and got between me and my decoy before I knew he was there. that was many years ago but have never forgot him also my first double bearded bird just about took his head off

[tomstopper]

1st gobbler shot at about 10yards. Just about took the head right off.....

[VaTuRkStOmPeR]

10-12 feet

[turkey_slayer]

6 normal steps. Blew his dang beard off just about. Missed one at 4 steps last year

[WildTigerTrout]

12 yards. I try to shoot them about 20 to 25 but he got close and just popped up over the ridgetop. I certainly did not need my 3.5" 12 ga. that morning. LOL

[Shellwaster]

About 15 yards and almost missed. He came in on the other side of some brush and I had to wait to get a clear shot. I don't like them that close, bigger margin of error on my part. I'd say the majority of the ones I've been lucky enough to take for a ride in my truck have been killed at 20-30 yards.

[Hognutz]

Three steps.. 

[Mike Honcho]

200 yards....course all I shoot is Longbeard XR's.

Sorry I couldn't resist that!

[TrackeySauresRex]

I once had an assist that was 6 steps. The bird wouldnt break strut. My buddie figgured he better shoot. Wow! you talk about a feather storm
