Air gunners, I need some input from experienced turkey hunters. I am an experienced turkey caller/hunter and have taken turkeys with rifle, pistol, shotgun and compound bow, but never an air gun. I am preparing for our (VA) April 11 season opener and plan on using my Edgun Rm5 .25 cal.
Assuming that is a good choice of gun and caliber, I have two questions.
#1 ammo. My rm5 is deadly accurate at 50yds with JSB 25.39 gr @910 fps. That is one option. My other option (that I have on hand) are H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 28.24gr They are not quite as accurate at 50 yds., but plenty accurate at 30-40 yds. The Hunter Extremes are designed to really expand and look very similar to the JSB Hades. So of the two which would you choose?
My second question; Shot placement; head shots, neck/body area or somewhere else? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Charlie
