You would be very surprised what a .17 cal. pellet traveling at only 800 fps. can do during open season by a licenced hunter. I am a hunter and safely, quickly, and cleanly are always top priorities. Whether it is from one well placed pellet or from a pattern of a hundred or so.
I actually admire turkeys and love to listen to them gobble this time of year and do not actively hunt them. BUT, all of my neighbors are farmers and we all agree with Raven. He stated it perfectly. The only thing I would add is: A gobbler in full strut IS an awesome site. Just not on your porch waiting to trounce your 13 year old dog or chasing the neighbor’s kids. That makes him turkey pie in my book.
