I've never hunted turkey, but it sounds challenging and fun. Where I grew up, rifles were illegal for any type of hunting (except for muzzle loaders). But where I live now they are listed as legal for turkey and other things.

If I take this up, I'd have to hunt with a rifle because I've been temporarily re-located by the Army and most of my guns are at home. I brought one deer rifle with me, so that's what it will have to be this year. I have two questions, though.

1- Do you shoot center mass on the body or go for the head? I know shotgun hunters go for head shots, but that seems like a tiny target for a rifle.

2- What calibers do you recommend?
