22 Cal Bullet for Turkey Hunting.

[Triple BB]

Thanks for the input. I went ahead and ordered some Barnes TTSX bullets. We'll see how they shoot and if they do, how they perform on a turkey...

Speer has/had a .22 semi-point full metal jacket bullet that I have used for turkey hunting in the past.

I guess I have had more good venison than turkey.
Come to my house and if I like you, you will probably get T Bone or a porter house steak. If I REALLY like you, prime cuts of venison are on the menu.

Folks should be glad I wasn’t one of the pilgrims that came up with meat for the table on thanksgiving we would all be eating venison or elk.

The only Turkey I care much for comes in a bottle, won’t turn it down but if I am buying it wouldn’t e a first choice.

Is that standard turkey or barrel proof...asking for a friend

Short version, turkeys will be the next wildlife population crisis. Take it easy on them.

We have turkeys all over town. They can't be hunted so their numbers are exploding. The game & fish must think the numbers are adequate, because you can get three licenses if there's leftover tags.
I managed to pick up three tags for this fall. Here's a couple jakes that come around from time to time.

I didn’t have any luck with a 22 or a 410, but a 12g got er done.

Has anyone tried to down a Gobbler with 22 rim fire from close range ? Asking for a friend…
