Our area is runnin rampant with wild turkey. Had a flock of em in the yard again this am. Do they eat chicken? My wife was freakin out this am that they were gonna attack our pet egg layer. She wanted me to start shootin em and cook one for easter tom.
I am not a hunter and know nothin about them.
Question for the turkey hunters. I know they are hunted with shotgun and bow/ arrow, (no rifle hunting in MA) but If it were in season and I were a licensed hunter, could I drop a turkey with a pellet gun shot to the head? If I were gonna do it for real, is there a particular place you need to shoot them so as not to ruin the meat aside from blowin their head off?
