ART: I actually don't like to hunt turkey with a rifle, but doesn't look like the boys will have a choice unless I get a shotgun which I'm not going to do. I am going to have them use a body shot just above the wing. It ruins some meat but they usually don't go far.
Dave: I was very surprised that Sd allows rifles or muzzleloaders. Most states don't.I always use a bow . I will be hunting private property where no one should be so at least the range of a rifle shouldn't be a safety factor.
Mike: Turkey are tough but I think a .32 is more than big enough.( State doesn't I guess) I would be willing to bet I can get 22mag performance from a 32 round ball.
Needless to say it's a 45 cal for them or borrow a shotgun. Don't like to borrow so that narrows it down.
