“Body punching” turkeys

[catman529]

I've missed many birds but I will still head shoot one even if it's 5 or 10 yards. Rather a clean kill or a clean miss than blow up the best part of the bird.

30 years ago.... I shot a turkey in some green briars, I was 17-18 years old and dumb. Anyways, I hit him hard, but not hard enough. He flopped around and got through the briars and ran right to me and past me. I put one in the middle of his back at 20 yards or closer.

This was with the original, woodland camo 835 Kicker. I got him, he didn't run off and die not to be found. Good thing that junk held as many shells as it did, I think I shot 4 times. Running turkeys are hard to hit in the head at 5 yards!
