I have just started deer hunting this past year (got a buck on my first day!) and have been thinking about the upcoming spring turkey season.
Since I've never hunted with a shotgun, a couple of seemingly conflicting bits of knowledge are running around in my head.
1. People talk about wall penetration of shotguns. I've been to the box-o-truth site and seen what kind of damage a shotgun blast can do
2. Birds have significantly less stopping pwer than a stud wall
So how is it that you can blast at a turkey or duck and still have something to show and eat, when the evidence seems to indicate there would be little left except for a few feathers and a big hole?
What am I missing in the equation?
Thanks in advance.
