Yep it sure would. Aim for the head. Use a round nose or hollow point.

Check the regs before you head out. It's illegal to use a .22 in my state, I don't know about yours.

If it's legal, by all means take your .22 out there and come back with a story for us.

Aim for the head, with a .22 you should be able to put a dime sized hole in a turkey's head at 30 yards.

Glad to hear you're ok!
