for a Sharpen yourself the big 160 Snuffers and I know how much you liked those, or Magnus one with bleeder.  For a replacement blade style head 145 Muzzy standard.  I have havested Turkeys with all three with no issue :-)

160 gr snuffers are always a great choice, I am trying the 170 Gr Centaur Big Game head this year!!

Big Jim Big-3 or the 160 Snuffer does a fine job also!

Guys
Thanks so much for the help, looks like Roger's snuffers will be the butterball slicer!

Should be in great shape even with decent shot placement.

Don't under estimate the toughness of a turkey and its ability to go unrecovered.

Quickened immobility is key!!!

Going to use these this year, point modified as to Pat's posts for them. 1.5" wide and they fly great.

I'll most likely use a Simmons Interceptor and hope to use it on this old boy. I zoomed on his spurs and looks like pretty good ones.

I heard him or another one tearing it up the other morning close to this spot. I had the cam set trying to get a picture of a buck that's making big rubs in this area.....before it sheds if not too late. Got this gobbler and either him or another one strutting (can't make the strutting picture out too good) and some hens.

There was one gobbling behind the house (about 1/4mile..I went in to listen, heard 3 others also) this morning that must have gobbled a couple hundred times. One gobble after the other for over an hr.
