Lots more vital areas in a turkeys neck than just it's brain and neck bones.
Tracheal tube
Esophageal tube
Veins
Arteries
Nerve bundles
Tendons
Ligaments

Just give the back of the boot heel to the noggin while they are doing the curly shuffle to shut em down most of the time anyways.

Or the grab the legs, stand on the head and jerk to break the neck.

No...
I aint never been spurred.
Thats some old wives tale schit AFAIC....
Yes I have picked up many birds that way getting flogged by the wings.
Bringing them to a spot to get their head on hard ground, a rock, or log to footstomp their noggin.
Aint wasting another shell on a bird that just needs its skull crushed.
Doing it on soft ground just pushes their head into the ground.




Pretty technical patterning there Rene... I just figure the furthest distance I can put six pellets in a beer can is max range for that load and gun.


LOL. Yep. Minute of beer can was my target Media when I first started patterning shotguns in HS. 🤠

Best shot I ever made on a Turkey was in HS. Took my cousin on his first Turkey Hunt, as he was a couple of years younger than me. He missed with his Dad’s old model 12 Full Choke Winchester. The Turkey took off flying straight away from us and I downed him mid flight at about 70 yards with my 94 30-30.
He thought it was a hell of a shot. I thought I was just damn lucky. 😬
