[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5601948, member: 1409"] I agree, we lose a lot of turkeys annually from low-probability shots being taken. The #4 pellet in a breast might have been survivable ongoing. But a single #6 in the stomach is a death sentence for Mr. Tom, and it may take between days and weeks before he dies from that infection. I've killed several turkeys over the years with some other hunter's pellets in them, and used to wonder how some had survived, then realized, the turkey was dying, just hadn't died before I shot him. Similar happens with long shots on deer. Just takes a tiny nick to the gut = dying deer. Hunter presumes a miss, and looks for his next target. [/QUOTE]
