I have only been hunting gobblers for three years( tried 30+ years ago without success) but have been able to get three so I tell myself I'm doing well. The first was gobbling his head off and I got him at 18 steps. the second I'll admit I began to worry when he started to veer away from my decoy and I killed him at a lazor ranged 40 yards. The third I shot at 31 yards and he was silent but strutting beautifully. I have been using my 11-87 with Remington 1&1/4 ounce lead 7&1/2s. I have a turkey choke I bought for the second season thinking I wouldn't get as lucky as the first year. I have an old, no longer-made Smith slate box call but I have made wing bone calls from my birds and killed last year's gobbler using one of those. The experience has been totally enjoyable. It is a great time of year to chase around after a great bird.
