He watched three turkeys for about 45 minutes edge closer and closer to his blind. Then when about a rooms length away and head fully exposed, he pulled the trigger. The bird dropped and flopped about in circles with a brain shot. Careful, well done and humane.
That kind of hunting is not for everybody, but when a person can walk 100 yards from his house and have his pick of many turkeys every day, he can afford to be selective and if you pass up a chancy shot, a better shot will come along. My friend has killed a turkey with every gauge of Parker from 410 to 10, he doesn't own an 8 ga.
I don't much listen to the ammo makers.....if I did I would have to use Prairie Storm or some such with 1 3/8 oz of 4's at 1500 fps in a 3 inch 12ga magnum to kill a pheasant and buy the 75 round box for a 3 day preserve hunt in South Dakota.
