It's about turkey season again. The regulations says "any legal shotgun, rifle, bow muzzleloader". Last year we sat on the edge of a flat open field with NO open cover. 2turkeys strutted and displayed for 5 hrs in front of us. I lased them @260 yards. They never came anywhere near the decoys or our calls. They would stay still for 10 min at a time with their heads sticking straight up. I do have a T/C Encore 12 gage with a spare 24" Grendel Barrel. I just came back from scouting the same field and the same turkeys are in the same spot-bigger this year I think. Any thoughts on the ethics of taking turkeys at long range with a rifle?
