Longest killing shot on a Turkey with a shotgun?

[redneck2]

Actually, if I'd have realized it was 50+ I probably wouldn't have taken the shot. Bird was coming in my way at maybe 35-40 out. I clicked off the safety and he either heard or saw me. Turned and ran. When he poked his head up I shot. Rolled him right there. They cover ground in a hurry.

Jake at 50yards. 2 3/4" #4 copper platted shot, from a 870 Remington with a modified choke.

This is the longest shot I have ever taken at a bird.

The longest one before was a 24# tom on the wing at 45 yards, 3.5" #5 shot winchester supreme.

Most of my birds are within 30yards.

long shots

If you have to take shots of over 50 yards , then you can' t call very well . Took spring gobbler this year with muzzleloadiing shotgun at 24 yards, if you are going to shoot 50yards or more you might as well use rifle
