Middle of the neck/wattles somewhere in there.  as long as I'm on something between his head and wattle he's dead.  The low neck/body shots on the videos drive me crazy.  Then their next segment is about how great their scope is........really?  You just blew his wing butt off.

Knowing where my POI is at 20, 30, and 40 yards, I just aim so that the top of my pattern rips across the top of his head.

Aim where the skin meets the feathers.  If you pull a little high then this gives you a little room for error.
Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
George Washington didn't use his freedom of speech to defeat the British, he shot them.

Middle of the neck for me. Gives a little wiggle room in case he moves a bit during the shot. At close range my turkey slayer throws a pretty snug pattern and I want more to aim at than a bobbin' head.

I usually hold for the middle of the neck or a touch lower,maybe where skin meets feathers.I dont think I could ever intentionally body shoot a turkey.
