[QUOTE="Spurhunter, post: 5313005, member: 5695"] Excluding honest mistakes, which we aren't talking about here, one thing causes turkeys to die without being recovered: unethical shots. And it doesn't matter if you are shooting lead, TSS, Hevishot, or steel duck loads out of a .410 or a punt gun. Not patterning your gun with the load you plan to use and limiting your shots to a reasonable effective range of that load are the problem. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. I had a guy tell me 20 years ago his 10 gauge would put 150 pellets in a 10 inch circle at 80 yards. I guess any birds he crippled shooting lead at 80 yards was the fault of a .410 and/or TSS which wasn't even available then. [/QUOTE]
