Canvasback, my sentiments exactly.

Head/neck shots are always the most desirable. Not only are they the most lethal, but the chance of shot in the body is reduced considerably. Without regard to gut shot contaminents, the flesh of body shot turkeys is hardly what I consider table grade with bloodlines and feather pulls throughout the breast. One of my old turkey buddies thought it was an easy game shooting spring gobblers having had a run of easy birds. He called one up, had the bird lined-up with his barrel and got cocky before he pulled the trigger. "You're dead" he said to the turkey. The turkey didn't think so and left full strut to full vertical climbing airborne in an eyeblink. Burk folded the bird on the third shot with his Ithaca Mag 10 as the tom topped a longleaf pine. He vowed never to act that dumb again (on purpose) with a bird out front in range.
