Thread: Turkey shot placement with 22 lr or 12 gauge

I now have access to a place with turkeys and pea cocks.

I want to eat the turkey's but don't want to ruin too much beast meat.

I was thinking of shooting with my 22 at the base of the neck?

Or shoot them with my 12 gauge with a light bird load?

They're pretty dumb as they don't get shot at. So could just find their roost and go to town with a machete.

Cheers
