As long as you do it on your property and not on Public land![:@]It is inconsiderate of the safety of other turkeyhunters in the area. Besides many states prohibit the use of .22 cal for huntig other than small game...
Wow! I suggest you stay out of the woods until you go through the Hunter's Safety Course!

RE: .22 mag for turkeys?
Yes you could use a .22, but a shotgun is much more fun. There is nothing better than getting a gobbler twenty yards from you. If you really want to get hooked on turkey hunting, take the shotgun and try at least half of the season using a shotgun. Then, if you don't get one and just have to take the rifle out, then take the .22. That's what I would suggest. Take a bird with a shotgun one time and you will be hooked for life!!
