How big is a turkey's head?

PA Bow/Flinter · 04-14-2006, 01:05 PM

I'm going to be patterning my shotgun pretty soon here and I was planning on printing off some turkey targets from the internet. My question is, what is the approx. size as an actual turkey head so I can figure out how much I need to alter the target before I print it off for accurate results. How tall is the head/neck area, how big around is the head area, etc? Thanks!

How long is their neck? I've never killed a turkey before so I'm trying to get a rough idea of what their size is to make my target the same, thus getting accurate pellet counts.

A turkeys head is about 2 inches wide and 3 inches long and it's neck is about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide.

That was one of the targets I was looking at. I might make myself a few of those along with another that I found. Hopefully this rain clears up a little and I can get some shooting in before dark.

What Mr.Longbeard said,I make a fist and trace from about the middle of my forearm up around and back down the other side.Use a black felt tip marker.This is pretty close.
