Shot size and brush

[Penguin907]

I know the general rule is shoot whatever patterns best, but does the level of brush impact your decision on shot size? It makes sense to me that #4 lead would be less disrupted traveling through thin weeds and other crud than #6 or #7s, but then you get a lot less pellets. I know this doesn't really matter with TSS, but I'm not interested in messing with non-lead shot.

No bearing on my decision.

I shoot a load that patterns quite well to 40 yards.  And I won't shoot through brush, so....

Easy peasy !!!

Have never considered it, a more dense pattern is always better, with the shot string you could technically plow a path to the target.

I have never took a marginal shot through brush, have shot a few through some light brush/weeds but I could still see plenty of the head and neck!

Agree with others, I don't worry about it ...

Wait for a good shot instead of thinking you're going to plow a path through brush to a turkey.

Yeah I'm not planning on taking bad shots where I can't see much bird, just been noticing some of the area I hunt has lots of scrub brush, vines, and other undergrowth. Like I could see a whole bird, but between me and him there's rarely a perfectly clean shot. So it just got my noggin joggin.
