Why do you think you need TSs inside 35 yards ?
When you hunt a turkey out of an enclosed blind with decoys you have defeated a turkeys only means of defense...his eye sight.
It should be against the law...just as 7 and 9 shot should be against the law to shoot a turkey with.
Why do you think you need 1.75-2 oz. of #4 lead inside of 35 yards? Next time you have a turkey coming in and he's out of your sight, start singing "Turkey in the Straw' or howl like a coyote and see how that works for you if you think his eyesight is his only means of defense.

The 1 5/8 oz load of TSS 9's contains 580 pellets. Gil; I'm a bit confused by this statement. Is that supposed to read 5/8 oz of shot? And is this a volume measure using a measure graduated for 5/8 oz of lead shot. 5/8 oz of chilled lead would count to about 599 pellets & would weigh 1.022 oz using the 18:11 ratio. What kind of powder does one have to use to push an oz of shot from a Fo-Ten?

What kind of powder does one have to use to push an oz of shot from a Fo-Ten? There are approximately 360 #9 TSS pellets in an oz. I have bought some batches higher in count, closer to 380 per ounce meaning slightly smaller than 9. The actual density exceeds 18 g/cc. According to the provider it's 18.5. In TSS 9.5, there are 420 pellets/oz. In 1 5/8 oz. of TSS 9's there are 580 using the 360 count pellets. It is my understanding that there are 585 lead #9 in an ounce. I am not aware of a 1 oz. .410 load. Gil

Wish I could think that fast, Gil. Well played. JR

Answer a question with a question...guess he learned that in lAw skool.
Fast on his feet...What he said was silly it took some really fast thinking to come up with an hour and a half later.

You justified it to me by saying it was "legal". Now, you ain't got all them turkeys to hunt, like you did. Told me so yourself. So, it's okay to be legal and kill five a day, but not okay to be legal and kill one? SRH Stan glad you survived eating the toad'e frOg. The population decline state wide had nothing to do with me killing those turkeys. Want to take another crAck at me jOe'ja toad bOy ?

As to noise in the turkey woods, a turkey has remarkable hearing. Bet you've busted more than one bird moving to one in the dark on the roost. At the first turkey sound a hunter makes, if he hears it, the gobbler knows to the tree where the sound came from. Not all noise spooks them all the time even on occasion walking under them in the dark. The noise of a shotgun blast sometimes spooks them, sometimes it doesn't. A turkey hears thunder often and maybe a shot sounds like a nearby lightning strike. I've shot enough birds to know that his nearby buddies sometimes will run; sometimes they won't and come in anyway. I've seen them stand around and spur the shot bird. Hunt'em enough and you'll see it. I've heard them gobble to a nearby shotgun blast and to a distant M1 Abrams firing from tank tables. But no one recommends singing "Turkey in the Straw" or "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" or randomly shooting the gun into the air as part of a hunter's bag of tricks. And, no, Frank, no one hovers at the keyboard for hours or loses sleep thinking of a response to your kindergarten level insults like "toad boy". Gil

It's no fun doing a battle of wits with an unarmed man. Guess you'll have to find another recipient for your ........... "wisdom".  SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

It sure is Stan when "whit" is something you lack...
Did you ever have it or has father time taken it from you.
Truth is your panties are still in a wad over your pigeon gun thread....you know it and eYe know it.
I knew you'd come after me when I poked fun at your pigeon gun. You could've took it in humor like it was intended....
mr.Stanley you're alot easier for me to read as any gobbler.
