Turkeys are not small game.

But compared to deer they are very small!!!!

Im not saying I have or ever will but just for experimental sake I tried a small game head on a deer I killed last year. Now the deer was field dressed and I know it would make a big difference on a live animal but at 20yards the small game head shot completely through the deer breaking a rib on entrance and one on exit.

i wouldn't try them

I believe I'd check the game laws in your state before attempting to use this head on BIG GAME.

I am thinking about trying a head/neck shot with one on a jake this year because i wouldnt risk it on a big tom.

I think that they would work but expandables are defenitely my choice!

Just MY opinion, BH....but I find SO MUCH wrong with this statement:

Is a jake not worthy of the same consideration a tom should be given? There's no wrong answer, I "guess".....but it reminds me of the "it's JUST a doe" threads.

No for body shots, yes for a head shot. NAP Spitfire for body.

i was just saying that i would rather miss a jake while reting a head shot than miss a tom while trying a head shot.

Wouldnt you?

BH....

If I draw my bow.....I'm expecting to kill that animal. There's ALWAYS the chance we're not going to be successful.....and therefore MISS.

There's ALSO the chance we're going to wound that animal.....and THAT is where I have the issue (and it's admittedly MY issue). A head shot on a turkey is an EXTREMELY "chancy" shot. I wouldn't take ANY shot on a personally deemed "lesser" animal than I would on a "trophy" animal (or vice-versa).

That was my point.
