Like the #9's pattern best.
It only takes one pellet to the skull or CNS to anchor a bird. A good pattern of #9's will definitely do the J-O-B!

I consistantly kill turkeys with #8's. I prefer a dense pattern over large shot. A turkey's skull and neck vertebra are prettily easily penetrated.

Targets number 3 and number 6 with #9 shot is "meat on the table"!
