What do you shoot them with?

I have a Ruger SP 101 .22 revolver that I hold right up to the back of the turkey's head.

 

[CindyinSD]

Yeah, that's what I figured. I think we have one .22 revolver, but I wouldn't know where to look for it. Everything else in .22 is a long gun. With DH gone, the only choices I feel confident using are definitely over-kill. And if he were here, he wouldn't be happy with me shooting through a turkey's head and into the ground. (He's afraid it could ricochet--he used to be an insurance adjuster.)

I did get a giant-size cone, though, so I guess I ought to give it a trial.

You could just cut heads off. I started shooting them when a big BBW beat me up after I chopped off his head and couldn't hang onto him.

Yes, I think that's what I'll do, rather than watching them bleed down over their little faces and all. I hate that. I think they'll fit in the cone all right. It really is huge. Wouldn't work for a BBW that I kept too long, but these, when I put my arm over them (when I occasionally have the chance to get that close), aren't nearly that size. They look huge all fluffed out, though.

The one I took care of today is from the same group your poults came from. He was 6 1/2 months old and dressed out at 14 lbs. 2 oz.
