Where to shoot a turkey with a bow

[Ajsnack]

With deer season winding down for most and my deer season over. I am starting to focus my attention on other game to chase up and down the hills. I am thinking about trying to take a turkey with my bow this year. I came across these pictures of shot placement for turkeys and decided to share.

Are you trying to go out this fall, or just wait until spring?? Very informative pictures though, thanks!

I wouldn't want to be a turkey.

I can't wait till spring. I'm going with a bow but I hunt with buddies with guns plus i do the calling. So if they see me they will die anyway

In response to the neck shot placement. With a shot gun yes that's a great place the shot will not penetrate the body enough for a kill most likely it will flyaway and you'll never see it again. But with a bow the arrow will penetrate to the vitals making a shot on the body your best option because the kill area is larger. Also if you shoot body even if a vital shot is missed you still might pin its wing to the body making escape unlikely and a follow up shot possible.
