Your gonna aim for the wing butts......Right through the shoulders. They are quite small....

so is that the front or back halve?

I'm sorry, but I'm trying very hard not to laugh right now......Please forgive me, but you can't be serious????? Surely you know where a turkeys wings are.......

i do but you said the butt. so i didnt know if you meant the rear of the wings or the front

Wing butts.....not turkey butts......LOL......where the wing joins the body.

search the net you can find them on google i bet

If your hunting turkeys with a bow and the bird is broadside then you should aim at the shoulders of the wings , it wouldn't hurt to clip the wing itself that way the bird cant fly off.
If the bird is facing you then aim just above the beard and below the neck and if the bird has his back facing you and not fanned out then aim at the center of it's back between the wings.
If he has his back facing you and with his tail feathers fanned out then you should aim at his butt and give him a suppository he'll never forget :D
Thevitals of the wild turkey are very small and hard to hit thats why I use a string tracher on my bow it's like a bowfishing rig ,
The string tracher or tracker if you want to call it that is just a spool of bright orange string that you tie one end to your arrow's shaft where the broadhead inserts in.
When you shoot and the arrow goes thru the bird andso does the string and if the bird happens to fly off the string makes it easyer to track it down.
This product can be bought at most archery shops and I'm sure Cabela's , Bass Pro Shops and even place's like Walley World will have them.
I hope this information answers your question and good luck to you this coming turkey season :)

Someone here had a link to turkey vitals, I think it's on Mathews site. I'll check.
