Centerfire rifle turkey hunting

[TreeDog]

I've one turkey with a rifle. Used a .243 and shot it through the wing broadside if that makes sense. Zero damage to the breast or legs and worked very well.

Wish we could use rifles or pistols on turkeys here in Idaho.

I've taken a couple first time turkey hunters in Wyoming out. We used a .223 with a 55 grain soft point, center back facing straight away, lead doesn't make it through the breast plate. Zero breast meat damage on the 10ish we shot that way.

22mag is what I use in Wyo
