Guy,

Turkeys are ground based. The exception being most roost at night, in the trees. It's not impossible, but not likely you will ever get a shot in the air.

They have some of the best eye sight of any game birds, fantastic hearing, and good noses.


Shotguns are the only weapon, besides black power & bow-n-arrow, allowed in most states.

The kill shot is the head. They have a thickly feathered body that will stop the small dia bird shot. Using #2 - #6 and head shots are preferred.

MOST hunters will learn that camo is #1 to the hunt. Then learning to call then in.

Calling?? Here is a completion of the 2012 WORLD champion video clips..
