I have not had a turkey get up and run off yet but I did have it happen with a pheasant this winter. I was with two other guys and one of them wounded the bird but he flew about 100 yards into some woods. I watched him fly up to a tree and then drop straight down so I knew he was hit. We went looking for him in the woods and I found him standing at the base of the tree. He took off again and I hit him at about 15 yards. He hit the ground and started to run. I hit him again and he started to flop. My hunting partners dog started my way to retreive the bird (it was flopping withing 3 feet of me) when the dog arived the bird got up again and started to fly (I had my over and under and I was out of shells). I thought about clubbing him with the gun (he was that close) but he went over my head and toward my partner. The bird was flying through some pretty heavy woods and my partner shot at him (he said he doubts if he hit him) and the bird flew about another 40 yards and fell out of the sky stone dead. With all that I figure he died of lead poisoning.
