This was in 1980, Early November and on private property. It may have been Turkey season anyhow. Cant really remember that far back. I have read other stories in this forum about taking game out of season and "I" am not the one that shot the Turkey. I believe this thread was about unusual hunting experiences. Dont mean to ruffle your feathers but, lighten up. Please dontpee all over my parade. But, if you like, you can call the NY State Department of F&G and let them know that a Turkey MAY have been taken out of season in 1980 and they can launch a FULL investigation. I dont poach, never have.
