I have killed big groundhogs with a .22 pellet gun with one shot, it can be done. That said turkey have very keen vision and getting close for a shot is going to be tough, especially one the birds get wary. Keep in mind you will need a turkey permit. Basspro sells a .22 cal Beeman with a scope for 99 buck that is the one I have been using.

My wife agrees with yours. The window on her side of the bed gets slammed shut at 0500 every morning when the gobblers start, now till the end of june. Then it's the cat bird that perches 10 feet from our pillows. I love it, her ...not so much.

It had better steer clear of your wife, she was on a war path when it crapped on your front steps last weekend. I wouldn't let her catch you with the yellow bucket again eighter  |

Shotguns or bow&arrow are the only legal ways to take a turkey in MA. So I guess if you're going to be an outlaw anyway, why bother with the permit? |
