I have shot some turkeys with .22 subs and stingers at the base of the neck, in the neck and straight in the head to save the meat. Rimfire seems marginal and they are hardy creatures. Good luck just...

Find where they roost wait till dark then with a red filtered headlamp and a pair of loppers go and take your pick. I kid you not, the Mrs did this a few years ago when she got sick of waiting for me...

I've shot quite a few turkeys with a 22. It's not great, especially if you want to keep breast meat undamaged. I normally aim for the base of the neck and they usually fall down, but not always which...
