[QUOTE="bigstickjrock, post: 2157104, member: 72378"] Very good advice about shot size 4-6 and copper plated. Look for the 2-3/4" turkey loads and you will see that they are max loads with heavy loads of shot. If you can't find them get the heaviest loads you can. You want more pellets. Also, yes they hear well, but they also can pinpoint you and will come to your last call even after being quiet for a while. Been busted eating my lunch early or standing to relieve myself. They might gobble when you call, but don't get worried when they go quiet. That's when they are coming towards you. Remember that he gobbles so the hens can find him. Too much calling makes him think you are on your way instead of him coming to you. Call, get him all worked up then shut up for a bit. The silence will kill you. Then you just may hear him drumming as he comes in for a clean close up kill. You have never heard anything like a gobbler strutting in close except a rutting elk. Absolute adrenaline! [/QUOTE]
