Reason being, I shoot most of them in the fall, while hunting Grouse. So they are targets of chance. If I was going out specifically for Turkeys, then it would most likybe 5 or 6’s. Using 8’s or 7.5’s is why I don’t shoot unless they are close. And really, I’m no great Turkey hunter, but have found if I decide to hunt them specifically, then it mostly becomes an issue if spending enough time looking. And come evening they most often give away where you should look the next day. Or a woods walk will most often show were they are hanging around.
Around here they are not that hard to find. Although their numbers for some reason have taken a hit.
Well, thanks for the clarification about it being Fall hunting, and sometimes hens. I wonder if those two things have anything to do with their numbers taking a hit?
