I debated on commenting on this post or not but here goes. First off, I've never taken a body shot, and I've never really considered it, I've also never been in a situation where I would've needed to. I guess the closest I have come to a body shot was fall hunting and shooting one out of the air, but he was taking off slow and I knew I was on his head, so that was a clean head shot. There are situations when you could undoubtedly kill one with a body shot if you had no other choice. I think extreme close ranges are a must though. I watched a guy shoot low and back and body shoot one by accident at 30 yards once. The bird rolled and then flew off and we never found him. I personally dont see myself ever taking the chance. But I will not put somebody down or question a turkey hunters ethics or skill if they were to tell me about a 10 yard texas heart shot, that they knew would be deadly. Just my opinion.
