6.8 SPCII Hog Slayer
Just shoot their heads off with your 6.8 while sitting in the stand deer hunting, you are sighted in right? I have no idea what the laws are on non Private land as I don't go there for my own safety.

The irony animals are property of the government, state or federal, until you hit one with a vehicle. And then it's on you to fix the vehicle and you have a carcass you can't even take.
We can split hairs over what's legal or isn't, ethical, whatever... pretty clear we aren't going to agree regardless. Do whatever makes you happy, but shooting a turkey with a rifle or pistol is about like shooting a deer on a greenfield or corn feeder.... it's not hunting.

All I know is it's a lot easier to kill a turkey with a rifle/pistol outside of 40 yards than it is with a shotgun. Again, if shooting one with a rifle is your cup of tea, by all means, go for it... but it's not turkey hunting.Why John? it is harder to hit a turkey with a rifle or handgun than a scatter gun in sheer physics,I think your comment was opposite, a shotgun makes it much easier
In another thread there was talk of a gentleman looking for a shotgun for turkey hunting. I asked him why a shotgun.
Then others jumped in with (I am assuming) turkey hunting in southern states ( including Ala) must be with shotgun only. Just to be more precise - -> killing turkey in the southern states (including Ala) may only be done using a shotgun.
My point,my question is this - -> can you hunt and kill a turkey in Florida and Ala using a centerfire pistol ?? Any other southern state ??
Just wondering because I did this for years using a Ruger Super Blackhawk. I used 44Spec brass loaded with a 265gr Hornady at 700fps.
Waited until their head was down feeding and took them high across the back. The bullet did not expand,killed them clean,and ruined none of the breast meat.
Was I hunting illegally all those years ?? If so,I promise never to set foot in Academy ever again. ---- SAWMAN
