.22 mag.
 

I would like some input about using a .22 mag. to shoot turkey. I do alot of shooting with it and I've shoot other game with it. I'm just not sure if it can handle a full size tom.

RE: .22 mag.
 

It is a little light for turkey on a shot with a turkey facing you. Any other direction, from the side aim at the butt of the wing or going away aim at the back it will do OK. Better to use a shotgun and call em in close and shoot the head and neck.

go with a shotgun and do a lot of calling and waiting.it's more fun that way,to get um in close.
a 22 mag. will take a tom OK if you get the right shot.a little off and you got a wounded bird.
just my 2 cents,there are 98 more!!:)

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

You are allowed to use a rifle in PA in the fall turkey hunt, but not in the Spring Gobbler hunt..

It's legal here in Colorado for a fall bird. Spring is shotgun only. And yes I've used a 22 MAG on fall birds, without a hitch. Use a hollow-point & aim for the wing butt. Good Luck .

22 is illegal here in Arkansas also. I can't even kill one with a shotgun...so I sure as heck wouldn't try with a 22.

Thank you all for your input. It helps alot to know what other hunters are doing. I'm hunting in Wyoming, so it's up and up for the .22 mag. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
