Default RE: I found a dead turkey today...

I have found 2 dead gobblers on my property during the last few years. What apparently happens is that a hunter takes a shot which is too long, or shoots at a flying bird. A few pellets in the body cavity will eventually kill the bird--after a lot of suffering.

I have seen resultsin deer season, when the local idiots spray buckshot at running deer, and make no effort at recovery. A few buckshot into the body cavity will eventually kill a deer.
