GUNS I HAVE USED ON TURKEYS 169 



not recommend the use of buckshot in turkey 

 hunting is because the vital parts of the turkey 

 are very small, and at forty yards the chances of 

 reaching these parts with buckshot are slim. 

 Those who have tried buckshot at this range 

 note that they have knocked their birds over 

 nearly every time, but are surprised to see them 

 get up and run away. This never happens if 

 the sportsman uses a good rifle and places his 

 bullet in the right place.
