Default RE: Has this happened to you.

Yes its happened to me. Three years ago, I shot a mature gobbler with a 3-inch # 5 at about 28yds. His neck snapped back and he flopped a few times and then lay still. When I went to pick him up by his legs, he found a second wind and darn near beat me to death with his wings and got me with a spur in the forearm. I couldn't get another shot at him before he went off over a hill and out of sight. I looked for him for two hours but never saw him again. I just guess it wasn't his time to go.
