Scatter gun or CF rifle?

I voted for the last option. As long as anything is legal, it is up to the person to choose. There is nothing illegal about shooting at waterfowl at 70 yards, but I prefer to get them as close in as possible.

Shooting a turkey with a rifle is somewhat like shooting a deer with a rifle, but not the same as shooting a deer with a slug gun, muzzleloader, or bow. Turkeys can be hunted with bows too.

I use a rifle on deer where the shots are going to be long, or where I am hunting on a crop damage permit and the farmer really wants them gone.

If you want the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, then use the rifle. If you go with the .22-250, make sure you aren't using varmint bullets in it or there really won't be anything left for Thanksgiving unless you like turkey burger and turkey soup.

Now, if you want a challenge, use a shotgun, and if you really want a challenge, use a bow. Turkey are much harder to hunt than whitetails, just in case you are wondering.
