[QUOTE="NomDeBoom, post: 4254876, member: 50898"] Every once in a while I see (non liquid) Wild Turkeys. A few Oklahoma birds have been known to stand out along highways, & seemingly, enjoy watching vehicles pass by. Down along the Rio Grande N M), I saw huge toms! They looked like 2 bushel baskets taped together, with ceiling fans on their butts. But I've always been curious (I COULD just look it up, I s'pose)...how do you 'hunt. these big ol' birds? I'm guessing the whole idea is to grab a tight patterning shot gun, get as close as you can, & try to blow their wrinkled red heads off to avoid getting shot in the 'good parts'? That's probably why I never bothered to research the technique....because that otta do it. But here's another question: If any of you have a big Tom Turkey, & don't want the big feathers (wing & a few tail), please let me know, as I have great use for them. Can I have 'em?
