I used to deer hunt at a camp near Weldon, NC several years ago. My guide shot a coyote and mounted it in a sitting position. The eyes that he used made the dog appear to be alive and staring at you. He sat him by the camp door so you had a greeter every evening.

Default WHY SO MANY TURKEYS GET AWAY-TARGET SHOWING VITALS

Will,

Back to your question about "misses," which ofter they are not. Hits to the head but not the "Vital Areas" often result in a bird, especially a big old one, running off to die. As you can see, only about a fourth or less of a turkey's head contains a vital area. Does not mean they won't drop like a stone if hit in the non-vital areas, but I've had many run off that I knocked down, and knew I was on target and the distance was right, much to my amazement.

Thus the saying: "One tough old bird."

You should be able to print these targets.
