Default Where would you shoot this guy??

Ok heres a picture of some jakes I taped the other weekend and I just wanted to know where you would shoot the strutter?

Please dont reply with a "i wouldnt shoot a jake" or something like that....just let me know where you would aim on this guy if you were gonna shoot.

Thanks!

I am thinking you are wanting a reply in regards to where to aim if you were bowhunting and I this is where I would aim if I wasn't using a guillotine type broadhead. (I may be way off, I am still new to bowhunting and am still trying to figure this out as well)

hunter211 is dead on. Vital area of most avians are further back than people think. Bullethole, your dot is in the back of the breast meat.

Well not to argue but hunter211's dot is right on the drum sticks which will undoubtedly drop the bird but the actual vitals sit right inder the spine close to where to wing bone connects to the body.......
