    How long do you(personally) wait until you shoot a turkey?

    Myself, if I, have a shot at a NICE turkey, I take it.
    NOT like on TV, when there's a shot, I let fly!

    Sure, it's fun to watch decoys get the stuffing kick out of them. It's more fun to eat a turkey dinner!

    On the other hand, I'm not selling or filming.

    If I have a nice tom in my sights its game over. No waiting for me. I only like to watch while deer hunting.

    It all depends on the temperament of the bird. I have seen quite few guys take a mediocre shot when they could have waited.

    Same here Heckler. I like to work the birds and watch how they react, but if they are in range and start acting like something is up I go ahead and shoot.
