sighting in your turkey gun?

Mid Neck. wattles

The reason I am in line with his eye is I always try to get him to raise his head up. I want half of my pattern below his eye and half above. And if he bobs and weaves left or right still got him.

Pheasants have wattles. Turkeys do not. The dewlap is just that, the dewlap and is not a wattle.

I'll let you do your own google search. The dewlap and wattle are synonymous in turkey anatomy from scientific literature, to game agencies, to hunting magazines. They are the same thing.
Every piece of loose flesh above a turkeys feather line is a "caruncle". Wattle (dewlap), snood, majors and minors are all caruncles by definition.
For some reason the major caruncles have become known as the "wattles" to most.
So a wattle or dewlap is a caruncle, but not all caruncles are wattles.

I stand corrected. The term dewlap and the term wattle is synonymous with each other. You learn something new every day.
As true as that is, though, I never once have heard the dewlap referred to as wattle until this thread. I have heard the major caruncles referred to as wattles hundreds of times, which causes confusion with in the conversation.

Aim anywhere in the head and neck your sight settles.  Just make sure your pattern hits behind your sight!

I probably aim just below the head more often than not.

Always aim mid neck above the red nut sack on his neck.
