Wish Sardis was wide open on crappie like it was years ago. I'd have 25-30 quart bags full of filets now.

I was wondering if the turkey breasts were worth saving, after being hit by 500 #9 TSS pellets! :D

Swapped you some "tenderized" wild turkey breasts for some crappie fillets, hey? :tu:

Seriously, how would you compare what's left of a turkey breast hit by a swarm of #9 TSS vs. larger pellets? Are you more likely to chip a tooth with the #9 TSS?

I give away deer and I cook and share turkey with friends but there isn't much meat on a turkey so I like to keep it to myself

Actually the few pellets I've had hit the breast did a full pass through so there is no crunching on them. They pattern so well you actually get less breast hits in my experience

I cook those too, but with 4 birds per spring and a couple in the fall, it doesn't compare to the amount of deer meat I can bring home and give away.

That's interesting & encouraging.
I knew there were less "flyers", but figured at 45-50 yards, the pattern would generally be large enough to "tenderize" the breast.

I shot own this year over 40yds and I found 2 pellets and both went all the way through the breast and was in the other side skin.

I've said it before by after what I saw out of TSS this year I'll never shoot anything else in a 20

Then one I killed with TSS (loaded by REN) had no shot left in the breast. I cleaned the breasts very very thoroughly and didn't find a thing. Ate them without breaking any teeth. Admittedly it was a 20 yard kill (very tight pattern).

True. Hands down.

With the price of beef these days, family and friends likely eat more deer than anything. About the only store bought meat anymore is chicken wings or a piece of pig every so often (so long as the fish cooperate).
