Maybe 4 feet from the end of the barrel. Good thing I had that 3 1/2" nitro load and a Indian Creek!! Lol

[DirtNap647]

about 10 yards

First turkey I ever shot was the closest, about ten yards with my grandfathers old Mossberg 12 gauge with a 3 1/2 inch load.  . lets just say it was plenty overkill and that bird definitely had one heck of a headache!

Wrong that bird didn't feel a thing.

 Killed a couple at <5 yds but one came off the roost early and on a dead run across a field. I was at a tree right up against an old barbed wire fence. Well he came running right at me and backlit by the field, I could not see his beard so I held my fire. The only thing that stopped him was the fence. He spun a circle and stopped sideways, longbeard!, I literally just pointed at his wattles and fired just feet away and just did clip him.

Killed two different birds at 5 steps.

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

I MISSED one last year at about 3-4 yards....he wouldnt come out of strutt and had hens all around him so I was scared to make a sound. Blew two feathers out of his fan and he lived to tell the tale

The closest I've ever actually killed one was about 5yds.

Last year; 10-15 yards (or so); had 2 gobbling on a small hardwoods rise in a swampy area, stalked 'em, and blasted one thru the brush as they were about to fly off.

Several years ago was set up 5 yds off of a powerline. Had a hen yelp interrupt my late morning siesta. Cracked my eyes open and the hen was 10 yds to my left but had a full fan in my face just inside woodline. Brought gun to my shoulder just as tom dropped into half strut. Stone dead without even a twitch. 4 yards max.

Had one walk within 2-3 steps and he got it to about 5-6 before I shot he was walking left to right...
