Maybe 4 feet from the end of the barrel. Good thing I had that 3 1/2" nitro load and a Indian Creek!! Lol

First turkey I ever shot was the closest, about ten yards with my grandfathers old Mossberg 12 gauge with a 3 1/2 inch load.  :z-guntootsmiley: . lets just say it was plenty overkill and that bird definitely had one heck of a headache!

Wrong that bird didn't feel a thing.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

 Killed a couple at <5 yds but one came off the roost early and on a dead run across a field. I was at a tree right up against an old barbed wire fence. Well he came running right at me and backlit by the field, I could not see his beard so I held my fire. The only thing that stopped him was the fence. He spun a circle and stopped sideways, longbeard!, I literally just pointed at his wattles and fired just feet away and just did clip him.

My closet last year was roughly 10-12 feet.  That's about as close as I've ever killed one.

I MISSED one last year at about 3-4 yards....he wouldnt come out of strutt and had hens all around him so I was scared to make a sound. Blew two feathers out of his fan and he lived to tell the tale :TrainWreck1:

The closest I've ever actually killed one was about 5yds.

Last year; 10-15 yards (or so); had 2 gobbling on a small hardwoods rise in a swampy area, stalked 'em, and blasted one thru the brush as they were about to fly off.

Several years ago was set up 5 yds off of a powerline. Had a hen yelp interrupt my late morning siesta. Cracked my eyes open and the hen was 10 yds to my left but had a full fan in my face just inside woodline. Brought gun to my shoulder just as tom dropped into half strut. Stone dead without even a twitch. 4 yards max.

Had one walk within 2-3 steps and he got it to about 5-6 before I shot he was walking left to right...
