The Biggest Lie In Turkey Hunting 

The biggest lie in turkey hunting is optimizing your choke tube and turkey ammo for long range hunting. Whether you are using Winchester Long Beard lead or Federal, Apex, BOSS, HEVI-Shot, or other TSS ammunition, the average range turkeys are shot is 20-30 yards. So, working to get extremely tight patterns and high pattern density at 40-50 yards is the wrong place to focus. People are spending a lot of money on ultra tight turkey chokes and buying boxes of them to get extremely tight patterns at max range, but it ends up hurting the hunters with more missed birds. Turkeys are moving targets and shotgun shooting and mounting positions are compromised when shooting from the ground which can throw your shot off by a few inches, causing you to miss if the pattern is too tight.

Shots do take place at extreme ranges of 50 or 60 yards sometimes but that is maybe 10% of shots, and to make those shots, many hunters have patterns so tight that they miss the turkeys at 20 yards or closer maybe 30% of the time. It is much better to engineer patterns with lots of margin of error at regular ranges, with still some long-range capability, than to focus everything on extreme range. That is costing hunters more gobblers than it gains them. Instead of buying 30 ultra long-range choke tubes, you probably only need about 3, one for short range, medium, and long range. This is across the board for Carlson's chokes, Muller chokes, Patternmaster, Indian Creek, and many others. #turkeyhunting #gobblers
