Well not fishing but Turkey Hunting Advice...
I went on the annual Turkey hunt in Sadieville Ky and while my friend got a Jake, I missed. Danm. It was a nice tom. I was in a elevated deer stand and the bird walked to 40 yds. I squeezed and missed 2x. fruck. Can anyone tell me why its not legal or sporting to shoot a turkey with a .22 or .17 hmr.??? I am soooooo much more confidant with a scope and crosshairs... I guess I need to practice more with the scattergun. (Editors note: I was using the shotgun for the 1st time... Didnt fly with my ole 11-87 and my buddy had rounded up a couple of shotguns. a mossberg 500 (28" with a full choke) and a Benelli nova with turkey choke... But I missed with both so it wasn't the gun. Any advice on elevation hold of a 3 in #6 shot??? I was about 20 feet up and the distance from the bottom of the stand was about 35yd... but also the reason no rimfires/???

Its a matter of trying the gun out. Pa turkey opens this Sat. Best to paper test your gun ahead of time to get a handle...,
They have nice turkey paper targets now.
Its a rush just to be there and take the shot. Sounds like you did your part for conservation this time. Kudos to you for that!0 -
This is awesome. It sounds like real fun. Can't wait to take part in the event next year. 0 -
U might also benefit from a trip or 3 to the trap/skeet range,to help with the fliers,as far as settin on the gnd. shots,the turkey targets at different distances will for sure help U out.. 0 -
might try to pattern your shot gun with different chokes at 35 yrd or so 0 -
If you can go back to the SAME TREE STAND and shoot at a Paper target with the same Gun and Shot from the same stand,
You should then be able to see why that you missed 2 times
YOU MAY NEED YOUR BUTT KICKED EXTRA HARD!!0
