    Turkey / Deer

    Well I know the last few years our biggest predator problem has been Humans,but at least they are equal they've killed out all our Deer and Turkeys around here.But like all other predators they will go somewhere else until populations come back up. You can't have one person taking 50+ Turkeys...

    Turkey Distance

    Thats what I'm saying Runner if you use your regular Powder Measurer set it at 120gr. that will put you over on Shot at 1 5/8 oz.,but you are ok with the 90gr.Powder. I'm using 60-80 on Squirrels doing just fine. Blue Smoke

    Turkey Distance

    Well I'm using CVA,by the Book it says not to shoot over 1 1/4 oz. of Shot,and same by volume of Powder. I was using 1 5/8 oz. #6 shot,80gr.Pyrodex RS,using a heavy Over Powder Card,and Thin Over Shot Card.Pattern great but according to the Book this is an Unsafe Load. Blue Smoke
