Yes, it was a head shot. About 25yds. Bird came in readily. I couldn't see it because I was calling about 10 yds behind my son in a spot where I didn't have a clear view. Wyatt said he would run about 20 yds and stop gobble and strut several times while he could see him. I really enjoy calling birds for folks. Haven't shot one myself for about 10 years. Always too busy farming when the time is right. Had to make time for Wyatt though.
As for the safe muzzel direction, I teach hunter ed here in Colorado. We really harp on muzzle control etc.
