Definitely do the minute of turkey.

I am curious tho, what is the average distance to shoot them creatures?

Gelan, I couldn't find a snake target so I figured that if I shrunk the turkey target down a little it would do. These loads are intended for snakes/pests at 2-3 paces distance. It's take a pretty dumb turkey to get that close! In NC we have to use shotguns for turkey, no rifles or handguns. So around 40 yards?

Thanks for clarification Mr Pumpkin Mike.
Down here we do not have those gobblers, and what we have (bush turkeys) are not actually legal to shoot at. OTOH, them crittures actually come quite close, cheeky bastards.
