Where do you aim?
« on: March 25, 2015, 03:19:01 PM »
Just curious what others do? I personally aim for the gobblers head and have great success, tho I see on TV alot of shots are taken at the base of the neck. Just curious where others aim?

Right at the base of the beard (archery tackle)

For shotgunning, I'd probably go head.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
