RE: Rifle for Turkey?

Welcome to the board

It all depends on their state regulations and personal preference.Imyselfwould never used a rifle for turkey hunting! I feel it takes the fun & challengeright out of the hunt. I also wouldn't want to be hunt an area where someone is hunting with a rifle, it raises a big safety issue for me. I'm sure there's people out there that will say there's just as mucha challenge in taking a turkey with a rifle but I don't see it. If a challenge is what they want, try pulling a mature gobblerfrom hishens to with in 20 yards. Save the challenging rifle shots for ground hogswhen you don't have a hunter sitting still in full camouflage hunkeredin tree line orbush. Again, welcome to the board
