Shot Placement

[BoWhoop]

I'll take what he gives me.  In the wide open, facing me, I shoot at the wattles.

[Old Gobbler]

base of the neck right at the hairline .......

[bowhunter84]

Waddles with a shotgun.

same for me

[4nwtf]

I voted base of the neck but I aim where the feathers and skin come together

[Gobbling Buck]

I aim at the head.  My pattern will knock the baseball size noggin of his sideways, with a few in the neck for good measure.  I hate pickin' feathers out of the breast.

[dawgfrombama]

wattles or middle of the neck.  Its according to the situation.

[deerslayer357]

Add another one for where the feathers meet the neck.

[harvester]

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.

[chatterbox]

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.

He said wing butt.

where the skin meets the feathers

[tomdown#4]

It depends on how far he is from me. I prefer to aim at the base of the neck when the bird is inside 35 yards or so. Past that point I will aim further up toward his head or directly for it.

[trkehunr93]

Middle of the neck if you enjoy eating the turkey you just killed, just my preference.  I don't like to bite into shot, my dentist likes it though!

[ccga]

I shoot a Burris fastfire - I hold the dot where the neck becomes featherless - I sight in my red dot so that the majority of the pellets are within a 10 inch circle above my aim point.

[VaTuRkStOmPeR]

20 yards or farther I aim right for the feathers at the base of the neck.

20 yards or less: I body shoot them between the beard and the spot where the feathers meet the wattles if they are facing straight at me.  If they are broadside at that range I shoot them halfway between the wingbutt and the wattles.

[Smart longbeard]

40 or less the middle of the neck, any thing further i aim at the top of the head.
