Clearanceman...I' ve shot a few turkeys in the fall with a rifle in WV. It' s tougher than you might think. They rarely drop when hit with a rifle...UNLESS you break their legs. The place to shoot them as far as I' m concerned is right where the legs join the body. This puts them down for good.

I' d advise you to stay away from the body of a turkey. You' ll either destroy the breast meat, or you' ll have a wounded gliding bird on your hands. Either one isn' t any fun.

If you hit ' em where the legs join the body, a simple soft-nose bullet will do fine.

Good luck!
