re: Turkey Hunting with Modified choke?

Is it really THAT critical? I'm no turkey hunter, but I've killed lots of shite with a shotgun. You probably can't find a load that isn't effective at 35-40 yards with a regular ol modified factory choke. Every turkey load I've ever seen was HOT.
I always hear about turkey hunters stretching out to 60+ with super extra double magnum full chokes and some 1900fps bazooka shells. Why is it so hard to kill a turkey? The damn thing is all head and neck b

I suggest a 10 gauge

In my opinion it's very easy to put a sub lethal shot on a turkey. You can't just "nock it down" and retrieve in many instances like with shooting a duck or dove.
Think about shooting paper with a modified choke, you can easily hit the paper, but how much can you get in a head and neck equivalent?
I am not saying it can't be done, but I don't like having to chase a turkey or miss or loose one. So much of turkey hunting is getting them close and watching the show.

I'd shoot a modified out to 25 yrds max. And that's assuming I was comfortable with shooting the pattern beforehand.
(That's why I shoot a 10ga with custom Nitros and a Jellyhead)
