That is correct johnny - head shots is the only thing while using a shotgun that will cleanly kill any turkey. Take a body shot with a shotgun and the bird is gone.

Now one correction a body shot taken at 10 yards more than likely will make it possible for you to get to the bird but you waste so much of the eating quality of the bird. But then again you have a real good chance the bird will either fly or run away.

And that my friend is how we learn by all of us here sharing. There is no such thing as a dumb question in my books.
