From what I was told if you shoot a turkey at "usual" distances there is enough energy that the shot goes right through them. They have yet to recover a pellet!!

I had a strutter yesterday about 70 yards. If he had been 60 I would have tried him and maybe recovered a few pellets. I did shoot one of the TSS loads today. Had him going crazy in the tree. Flew down, went the other way. I followed an hour later, set up in the woods on the edge of a cut-over. Watched the open oak woods. Now any experienced turkey hunter would know they prefer the cut-over to sneak to the call over open woods. Brain freeze. He saw me, clucked and before I could get the gun up was airborne so my 1 1/4 ounces of TSS are spread over five acres now as I wasn't even close. Been fooling with him for four days and now he is well educated.
