turkeys

I thought I seen somewhere, they couldnt be taken with rimfire or centerfire, correct me if I'm wrong?

Can't use a centerfire rifle but you can use a rimfire.

I wouldn't recommend shooting a turkey in the body with a rimfire because you'll likely run out of ammo before it stops him, the only way to be sure with a rimfire is to head shoot them and since their heads are always moving it is best to keep the distances around 30 - 40 yards maximum. Basically the same range as a shotgun, so why bother, just use a shotgun. They are very smart birds and won't give you much time, it takes less time to line up on one with a shotgun then trying to lay a bead on him with a rimfire.

I have shot 2 turkeys with a .22 an one with a shotgun, I am going to try to use my bow this year since I hear the hardest thing to is draw on a turkey with a bow (unless your in a ground blind, which I don't have). If I wasn't using my bow then I'd be using my shotgun, no question about it.

So how about from a treestand, with partner calling on the ground below ?

Turkeys can see in approx 270 degree circle and I'm not sure how that equates to vision above them, but I think it should work. If you have a partner, but i'd put him back 50 yards like elk hunting, maybe more depending on the terrain. I don't know about calling from a tree, not natural for turkeys to make those noises while roosting.

I usually hunt solo, and if I do hunt with a partner I''m usually the caller.
