I used to shoot them with fmj .22 Hornet. Put them down like a hammer went through them.

Shooting them in the head reminded me of a time long ago. I was pretty good at calling birds with a box caller and diaphram calls. I was the only one doing it on 12000 acres in Menard, Texas. The older guys would ask if I would go call a bird for them.
Well one day my father told me to go with him and call in a bird. I swear as soon as we slipped into the round pile of logs fashioned into a blind the birds answered witha a gobble. A minute later there was 6 long bearded toms right in front of us.
My dad was shooting a .250-3000. When he shot the bird went down. We got back to camp and I went to pluckin. I could not find the bullet hole. My dad could otfind a bullet hole. Come to find out he skipped the round off of the top of the birds head, crushed the skull but did not pierce the fleah. How lucky was that?
