[QUOTE="tndeer12, post: 5057664, member: 20343"] How do y’all think the use of TSS shot has affected the success rate of Turkey hunters? Seems like it has extended the range of most shotguns which has to be impacting the overall kill to some extent. #9 TSS will easily kill out to 50-60 yards. The more dense pattern of the # 9’s coupled with the pellet weight equaling that of a #6 lead shot has essentially extended the effective range of most shotguns on the market by 15-20 yards. How many times have you had that ole Tom hang up at 50+ yards and all you could do is sit there and watch him strut around until he just disappears? I now hear stories of people killing turkeys out to 70-80 yards. Where is the sport in that. Technologies like TSS shot and tactics like fanning are taking a toll on turkeys too. If we don’t draw a line as to how we harvest turkeys, we are going to have to resort to actions like reducing bag limits and pushing back the start date of season in order keep us from self destructing.
