Stupid Question about Bowhunting Turkeys
 
This is my first year Turkey hunting. I am going to do gun hunting this spring. However, this fall when I am bowhunting for deer if a nice turkey walks past I will consider taking it. Which last year if I would have had a license I would have had plenty of shots. The question I have is what part of the turkey do you aim for with a bow? Do you just aim for the center of the body? Or do you shoot for the vital area in the front of the bird?

One other question is what type of tip do you use? Small game or regular deer broadhead?

Just curious. Thanks for your help.

Here ya go

As for BH's any thing you use for deer will work for turkey, just make sure to use adder points so you dont get a pass thru.

the only thing i would recomend is if your gonna take a shot from a tree stand then i believe you will want to change your point of impact. similiar to a deer. otherwise you will probably miss the vitals.

Get a turk target 3-D and practices from your tree stand or from ground.
