Do you put the bead on his head, mid neck or wattles?

Whatever I can see, I've shot several that I had a small window on with just their head or just their neck showing when I touched it off.

I aim at the major caruncles, if it's within about 10 yards. I aim at the wattles, mid neck, from about 10 to 40 yards. I put the bead on the top of his head at 60 yards.

Whichever part I can get to hold still Heard that I"ve always aimed at the wattles thinking the whole bird has to move to miss verse a head shot ... That head can move in the blink of an eye.

I've only killed 6 in my life, 4 last year, so I'm no turkey killin' expert. All were mid-neck with just the head showing above the front site.

I can't say I "aim". It's always just kind of second nature for me. The bead is there subconsciously but I never really focus on it.

Where skin meets feathers. 45 yards mid neck over 55 top of head. The Merriam I killed in Nebraska last may thought he was at 40 turned out he was 55 yards, range finder said it was so.
if i hadnt taken up hunting i might have became a juvenile delinquent or worst taken up GOLF
