Frankly, I would enjoy hunting turkeys with a Hornet (it'd give me a reason to get one !) or 22 mag but I wouldn't want anyone else doing it at the same time in the limited timber patches of Iowa. There are too many careless folk with quick trigger fingers out there-- even with shotguns there are several folks shot it seems every year.

But in SD or NE or other states where turkeys are often in the wide open spaces with few people I think it'd be a great rifle sport though I've not done it.
