Dusty,
Turkey hunting with a rifle is legal here in Virginia. Shots to the base of the neck where it connects to the body or where the wing comes off of the body are best. I've tried to shoot one or two turkeys in the head,with a rifle, but have yet to hit one. A turkey's head never stops moving and doesn't present a very good target, in my opinion. I've seen turkeys shot with 17HMRs on up to 30/06s and the damage is usually minimal.
