Yep, I normally aim between the base of the neck and his head. Because of pattern spread I will often get a pellet or two high in the breast.
PS. When I was a young fellow and shot one of my first gobbling/full strutting turkeys I was so nervous I aimed at the middle of the turkey and cut loose a 3.5" 12 gauge Number 5 Winchester load turkey load at 20 yards. Giant puff of feathers and a very uneatable turkey. Have gotten much better since. Did however shoot over the head of more then one even now, hence why I drop my aiming point about 4" below the head.
