God bless you guys that help Buffalo's Outdoors on Patreon. I had to stop doing Patreon for now. Things are getting better everyday but my money is tight right now. I just want to say thank you too, to those who can and do help.
It seems to me and I am a old school hunter but these days a lot of people want to shoot at game to far and don’t want to do the work to get in close. It’s especially bad out west we’re I am with deer and elk guys taking shots at ridiculous ranges. Thanks for your wisdom and ethics we need more of that.
Best part of the video was educating unethical hunters that going home empty is MUCH better than sentencing an animal to a long, slow miserable death because they're hoping to get lucky.
Thanks so much for this.
Can't stand hunters with bad ethics

Thank you for your sacrifice!
LOL! I still feel it! I'm a very sensitive man you know!
Thanks Buffalo! You're one of the best shooters I have seen on CZcams period. I can totally agree with ya for $10 a shot it just isn't as impressive! Makes the 410 more like a 20 gauge and the lil 410 needs all the help it can get, but the 12 gauge has plenty already! Great review brother.👍🙏🇺🇸
You said in one sentence what it took me a 15 minute video to spit out! Thanks man!
I agree with you. Any good 12 guage load will get the gobler at 40 yards. But that little 410 being a good turkey gun was sweet. My daddy taught that's the fun of hunting to get game as close as possible and make a good shot and a good harvest. I remember squirrel hunting in the 60 s with him and was so fun to sneak up as close as humanly possible to get a head shot with my single shot 22. Wouldn't let me use a shotgun tore up to much meat and there was 8 of us eating supper at night👍. As always you do Kentucky proud sir😛👍
Thanks Scott. I grew up eating squirrel too. Dad used to fry it up and mom would make the homemade biscuits and gravy to go with it. Those were good times even though we didn't have much.
6:13 said it all. That looks like a ride!
LOL! It was knocking my socks loose.
I'm with you 100%. I like to bring the bird in close for a clean kill, and I have enough turkey loads for a lifetime. I still like to see what the new stuff can do. Thank you.
Thanks! Sounds like we have a lot in common as I am the same way. I like to see the new stuff but I've been let down by marketing hype more than once! LOL I appreciate the comment.
That MOJO Outdoors Choke Tube is a must for turkey. What sets Mojo apart from their competitors, imo, is that the quality and fit and finish are outstanding, the choke actually extends far enough out of the barrel that the knurling becomes useful and they were nice enough to send one to Buffalo's Outdoors.
Thank you. I agree It is a very nice tube. I will definitely buy from them in the future.
Absolutely no backlash should be given. Too many hunters want to take pictures with dead turkey and just want to kill and not hunt. So many people use the tss as a crutch for poor woodsmanship and calling...if I can't get him to 40, he won that day and I just get to call him and work him again another day. Outstanding review and great way to be about it.
I absolutely agree with you Buffalo! 35-40 and in.
I concede that it IS better, but not for me and my way of thinking.
Awesome video 👍. (Ice for ya shoulder.)
Thanks! I'm glad you understand what I mean. Sometimes I know what I want to say but the words end up not making my points very well...LOL
Great honest and thoughtful review Buffalo 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Shoulder tenderizer. Effective choke.
YEP!
I like to count the eye lashes on a Gobbler before I pull the trigger. Closer the better. Cool that you tote a .410 into the woods after turkey. Great video
Man you do a great job on your reviews your way of thinking is level headed common sense great job
Man I really appreciate you taking the time to say that. Thank you.
Long range game shooting seems to have gotten out of hand across the board to some. I agree with you. Keep the hunt in hunting. Save the long range for target shooting. Well done video.
It's almost become bragging rights as to who can shoot a turkey at the farthest distance.... makes no sense to me. I'd just as soon let it walk as run the risk of crippling. Thanks man!
I agree, one company is advertising a crossbow that's capable of killing at 100 yards, to me that's not Archery hunting but to each his own.
I agree with everything you've said , 40 yards and closer is the real game for turkey hunting. Thanks for your video.
That thang kills on both ends!
Don't it though! LOL
Once again Buffalo "keeps it real" ! Thank you sir for QUALITY content and honesty!
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate that and find it motivating actually!
I agree 110% that's why I got the single shot Steven's 410 and tristar semi 410 30 years turkey hunting
Great show. Thank you sir
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
I really appreciate your honesty.
Thank you.
Thanks
Thank you so much for the review! I picked up a box of 3" and patterned at 50 yards. Very good. I like them close but knowing I can extend my range ethically is great
Thanks again. Good luck this spring.
Great filming Buffalo. Love your smooth easy and thorough videos
Thank you! I am glad to hear that. I appreciate the feedback!
Couldn't help but notice just how far the quality of Buffalo's Outdoors vids has come over the years. First subscribed when watching SP101 vids a few years ago and I'm not sure if the editing is done in house or they got some folks to do it for em but they are on point now. Especially like the picture in picture stuff, very nice.
I totally agree with your views on tss 9 shot
Thank you
I like the 12g TSS 3.5” #7 shot, I carry one round with me when I hunt with my A400, and I can use it on a bobcat or coyote out to 65+ yards. It is way over kill for turkey under 50 yards
Wow. Will #7 TSS penetrate at that range enough to kill a tough ass coyote? Impressive if it will. Wonder what if they made buckshot in it.
I happen to agree with everything you said, 100%. I will be hunting my 30th year this year and the turkey population is clearly down here in South Carolina. I have no interest in shooting past 40 yards unless I do it by mistake but I miss calculating the distance. Because of that possibility I will likely shoot a federal TSS 12 gauge load that patterns well a little past 40 year yards with no interest of purposefully shooting beyond that. Thank you very much for the video! Very well done.

Great video I know it hurt, My son wanted a 3.5" Remington 870 when he turned 18. It has had 2 3.5" shells through it. One by him and One by me. As far as I'm concerned that is the most useless round out there.
Rusty Lee 3 1/2’s are for crazy folks 😂😂 that are “gluten for punishment “
@@nataliedeyton6829 You are so right for that but like they say some people only have to kicked by a mule once to learn. I guess If I were hunting waterfowl it might have more purpose , bt actually I think I'd rather use my 20 ga 870 with steel shot.
I can feel the recoil just watching your shoulder jerk back. Ha!! That’s got to leave a bruise. Nice patterns though. Good points at the end. Why take a chance at to many yards just to feed the coyotes. 👍
EXACTLY! Thanks!
One dislike! That Guy must be a Turkey 🦃. 🇺🇸😎
LOL! Maybe so!
Another great video. On 5-24-22 I took a Tom with a Thompson Center Contender, .410 with TSS shot at 12 yards. That stuff is great, dropped it like it was hit with a sledgehammer.
Excellent presentation.
Great honest review!
Thank you!
Dang I like to had a stroke over $5 bucks a shot and got scolded by a couple of people! Now this.....the bad part is I have shot over $300 worth of 9mm hollowpoints in the last few weeks!😂👍🇺🇸

You're very welcome! Thank you.
I agree
Thanks!
Nice video. Ethical shots help us all, thanks for reminding the newer hunters!
Thanks Joe!
Great review Buffallo. Big thanks to Mojo Outdoors.
Thanks!
I'm with you all the way on ethical shots only. Be interesting to see how that choke does with standard loads.
I plan on doing some more testing with it. Thanks!
Thank you, I can’t wait to try them just ordered two boxes
Very well thought out evaluation, thank you sir!
Thank you!
Don't apologise, you are right on!
Buffalo, you are so right about the 12ga. and .410 comparison. I purchased a Jebs choke tube for my 1100 Rem. .410. I plan on shooting turkeys this fall with it.
Great video, God Bless, hope you got your bird this spring; I got mine. The Turkinator.
I agree 100% on your assessment on the 12 ga. I have shot and patterned several different loads and do not see a huge benefit to the Tss. However in the sub gauges especially in 20 ga there is a huge difference I found. Makes a youth model 20 ga as good as shooting a 12 ga without all that dreaded recoil. Love the videos and good luck!
I took my first Turkey this season after Turkey hunting 6-7 years. I got a Rio in Texas with Federal TSS at 57 yards. 20lbs. 10.5” Beard 11/4” Spurs. I had to shoot him across a pond, I wasn’t expecting him to come in from that direction.
Top notch video as always !
Agree with you 100%
Very sensible video. I know I understood what you were saying about the 12 gauge vs the .410. I gotta say still impressed with what the TSS in .410 did. Seems like if you're going to use a 12 gauge anyway might as well save your money.
I happened to notice you have 0 snow left you lucky bugger you. I can't wait until the snow melts. Just spent the morning (2/19/20) plowing snow and I'll tell ya I've about had it this year. Course it happens every year about mid February. *:-)*
I assume it was you that sent me the email now that I see this comment. I thought about you when I saw it but wasn't 100% certain. Our little snow didn't even hang around for a full day.
@@buffalosoutdoors Heh. Yep that was me. *:-)*
Great video as always, good points on ethical hunting. I think I'll stay with regular 12gage or I might try The 410 that was pretty awesome. Thank you for all you do.
Awesome review 👏
Great video, very enjoyable
Spot on buffalo thanks for bringing us along.
Always glad to have you!
I agree 100%
Agree with your assessment on this load. Very good, but like you I won't shoot at a Turkey much more than 40 yards. My gun patterns very well with lead shot at that range, so for me this load is not necessary. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I just don't see the gains to justify in the 12 gauge. Like you just said. Out to 40 plain old lead shot will get it done quickly and humanely every time.
My 870 has the 40 yard pattern yours had at 20 with the Carlson TSS choke. Crazy how a choke makes such a difference
I totally agree on the 40 yard game. Turkey hunting is a sport game & meant to be ethical & enjoyable. If people are just out to kill him at any cost, they might as well tote a rifle or shoot him off the limb. Thank you for the fun & educational videos. I love watching your 22 rifle & ammo vids. I just purchased my first CZ 22 & can’t wait for squirrel season. Keep em coming & God Bless Sir!!
Crazy range
Impressive, good to know, thanks for the information
Thanks!
I have the final strut Turkey choke from Rob Roberts who makes the mojo choke and I love that choke. It shot an unbelievably good pattern with all the loads I put through it👍🏻
I live in Iowa and we can’t use the 9 shot here and a lot of other states as well. We can use the 7 shot so that’s what are options are here
That's an awesome hunting pattern. Wouldn't hesitate to take that to the woods any day.
Another great video thank you, I just use a standard 2 3/4 Turkey load most of the time, sometimes if it’s on sale I’ll get some 3 inch for turkey hunting, looks like that choke worked really good
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't get to wound up on turkey loads with the 12 gauge. As long as I keep my shots reasonable it's never been a problem. I think with these rounds they give a false sense to new hunters that 70 yard shots are ok. Problem is even if the pattern looks good at that range the per pellet energy really starts to fall off. Thanks for the comment man.
Yuck Foutube you know they say great minds think a like. I enjoy to watch this channel because there’s some awesome shooting going on here
Your the man Buffalo.🦃
Patterning shotguns with heavy field loads is NOT a pleasant recoil experience. A tip from John Alden Knight and also George "Bird" Evans is to use a step ladder as your "standing" bench. Your front arm/hand grips the shotgun at the ladder step that fits you and your placement of the shot is much better plus the mass of the ladder helps dampen the recoil a good bit.
Wow! Even at 50 that pattern is awesome. Would make a great waterfowl load if you could afford it!
I agree with you 100%. .410 is definitely the way to go. Bigger is not always better. You have convinced me to go buy a .410 shotgun.
Great video again buffalo. I was thinking as you were going through the different range shots, that a 3" normal cartridge is well capable of doing the job. I'm pleased that you brought up the wounding issue too. I used to chase pinkfoot geese in Scotland, and restraint from taking long shots is difficult, but necessary.
Absolutely. I'd much rather have another hunt with that bird as to take the chance of a crippling shot. Thanks.
great!
Thanks buffalo yeah I am a new subscriber I really enjoy your channel you always have good content looking forward to more 😁
Glad to have you here and thanks for the nice comment!
I agree with you a 100%
Nice video and I like the hat.
Those types of federal shells I have found work best out of a cylinder bore choke or a improved cylinder. They where first developed for police 18in dash guns that where cylinder bore and shot like crap. I would be vary interested to see a improved cylinder VS the high dollar full choke that you used in this video. Not to take anything away from the high dollar one but I dont think it is necessary for the flight control shells. Great video I hope to see more in the future.
The Crio plus choke threads will also work for you.
You sir are a trooper! 3.5's got some sting to them. In my testing the TSS is not worth it to me either. I have compared patterns with these and hevi shot magnum blend out to 70yds(just to check the hype). Had a more dense pattern with hevi shot at every range, than with TSS. All using the same Rob Roberts .660 choke. My normal shots are at 30-40yds but have taken one at 53 and it was a completely ethical kill, using the Hevi shot magnum blend. It's more expensive than your average turkey load but still cheaper than TSS. Great video though!
Tss is great for 20ga and .410. No need for it in 12ga. Great video
Thanks for making this one, mean load for sure, super expensive, I don’t think I’ll ever buy any, For 🦃 hunting. Nicely done video bub!
Rob Robert's makes there tubes. Good quality
I like this guy ..... good content ... good guy ...
I thought $1 a shot for slugs was bad. I guess I am cheap.
LOL!
You're not cheap. You're smart.
all my slugs are the wax buffalo tss diy
Nice video as always! If you come accross some NSI (Nobel Sport) Fast Magnum in 12Ga they are really great. Best patterning round I have tried in my 500 with a cylinder bore. Offers them in size BB or 0 depending on what you want to call it too, a really neat loading. Take care!
Thanks. I will keep an eye out for those. I always I always enjoy trying different shotshells to see what they can do.
Class speaker/ Very good
that's impressive for sure...
Wow buddy that's awesome man
Thanks!
I've looked at different places for this ammo, and there's really no bargains on it. The stuff is EXPENSIVE!
Great video Buff ! A lot of people think if they have a 12 gauge super pooper magnum shotgun they can take a poke the length of a football field! I have lost birds at 40 yards and it’s the stuff nightmares are made of because you hope you missed clean but you probably didn’t.
They have a 7/8 once 410 lead as well in size 8.5, thanks
That being said. What do u normally use. A comparison video would be cool. I agree with the 40 yard limit.
Good stuff man
Thank you!
Great stuff 👍😃✌️
Thank you!
Love your videos, but I have found in my experience that a choke tube counteracts the "flight control wode system " . The buckshot works better in cylinder bore. The tighter the choke the worse the pattern. Once again thanks for the video 👍
Hello and thanks for the great comment. I too have had much better patterns from the standard Flite Control wads in buckshot loads using cylinder bore. With this in mind I contacted Federal before I did this video and they assured me that the Federal TSS turkey loads had a new wad called the Flite Control Flex that would perform best with a turkey choke. It also says this on the actual box, I should have shown that in the video. I wish I had more of these to test through different chokes myself but I would quickly bankrupt my channel at 10 dollars a pop.
Nice testing and shooting....Good stuff....
Thanks!
Good stuff 👍
Thanks!
Well I guess we're just missing a 20ga review of those TSS shells! Great video
Impressive shotgun shells , you talk about hunters taking too long shots I totally agree , it’s the same what ever you hunt deer, waterfowl , etc , I put a lot into my field craft to get a animal close , with my camouflage, my decoys, my calling and my reconnaissance , doesn’t always work , but he be there for another day makes it more worth while sometimes , many thanks for the video
I agree 100%. My most memorable turkey hunts are the ones where I had to go back 3 or 4 times in a row and try different strategies until it finally comes together. Those are the hunts I will tell my grand kids about.
I use steal # BB waterfowl loads 3inch 12ga and 35 yards is right in the wheel house
I just ordered one
I hunt them the same way in Michigan 35-40yds with a 12 gauge never a problem
