A thread like this was posted for Deer and it generated a good discussion, so let's try it for Wild Turkey with a Bow.
This is primarily for Archery...as the recommend shot placement for shotgun is pretty much limited .

I think between 3B & 3C would be the ticket
I just bought a crossbow last summer and have never shot a turkey, presented the chance I think I'd choose A2.
might need some of these if your going for that hhahaQuote:

Intersection between B/C 2/3.
That's (A2) the shot I found best with the x-bow.Quote:

I hit a Tom one year in about area 3C....the arrow stuck in the thick part of the thigh and he flew away with my arrow. I watched him land and enter the woods. So I went home got my hound and put him of the trail. He found the Tom hiding under a fallen tree. Recovered both.
Thanks for that. I was going to ask but didn't want to derail the thread. I only have bolt cutters right .nowQuote:

not a bow hunter but wouldn't you want to include a going away option too?
I always thought the magic archery spot was directly behind where the beard attached to the chest, so my pick would be B, on the line between 3/4.
