Hunting turkeys with a .410 without TSS shot is not only illegal here in NH, but In my opinion downright unethical. Now I know there are folks who will disagree with my statement but I truly believe it. I do think the mystic belief that the eastern turkey is akin to hunting a ghost is way overblown. I have probably killed over 40 easterns in my life, and I do not find them particularly hard to hunt and kill. Whitetail deer are much more difficult as they add the sense of keen smelling abilities to there already keen eyesight and hearing. We are probably lucky that turkeys cannot smell.
