[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1980482, member: 36999"] I will preface this by saying I personally have never shot a turkey and only occasionally hunt them due to the fall and spring seasons falling when we are Striper and Tuna fishing respectively. Here in PA our fall season allows rifles and everyone is required to wear orange so that is a non issue. Additionally nobody says you have to shoot a turkey at 200 yards with a rifle, I personally would like to hunt them with my Winchester 1873 in .45 Colt which honestly is limited to about 50 yards. I see the hardcore turkey guys like I do the hardcore archery guys, I commed the effort it takes to get close to your chosen game but don’t act like choosing a weapon that physically limits your range makes you morally superior. One could argue that the guy who has a far more effective weapon yet still shoots game at short range is a better hunter as he chooses to wait rather forcing his equipment to choose for him. [/QUOTE]
