I have a friend who preaches get close. I might not believe this if it came from anyone else. He was hunting one morning before work and had a gobbler strutting back and forth on the T of a logging road. He could see it, but it would not come any closer because of a big mud hole on the lane. He had worked the bird for quite a while, but the hour was getting late. He said he thought the bird was about 50 to 60 yards but wasn't sure. He was carrying a 12 gauge with 3 1/2 inch #9 TSS. He said he talked himself into the shot and immediately regretted it. The bird disappeared after he recovered from recoil, and he walked down the lane cussing himself for giving in to temptation. He paced it off and found a very dead gobbler laying in the lane at 92 paces!
The farthest I have shot one is about 40 but that TSS lays them out. It's funny but the first time I hunted with TSS I had loaded the shells, 3 1/2 #9 TSS and I had the gobbler run down a lane at me to the point I thought it was going to be hand to beak combat. I shot him at about 10 yards and closing!
