Got my turkey!
 
I got my turkey, hit him flying, at about 60m.p.h with a 1985 Chevy Suburban. Needless to say it was very effective, wasnt a whole lot left of the bird and it cost me a $300 windsheild.






Appearently a 454 makes a good turkey call. I think I will use the Ithaca on the next one. LOL.

Ouch!!!! Stick with the Ithica next time! Shells are way cheaper than windsheilds!!!

I think I would rather go birdless this season than knock one down that way,OUCH on the wallet.

Thanks to them windshield.
Hope you weren't scouting at that time and this one flew from the roast.
Well a windshield can be replaced.

That is not such a good way to get one..LOL I prolly shouldn,t laugh though as it could of had happened to any one of us.. I think perhaps you should stick with a shotgun or a bow or something like that. It wouldn't cost so much..

Ouch!! Where's the pic of the turkey? You should have laid him out on the hood

What kind of choke did you use? Lol!!! I'd been over the guard rail using my emergency roll from under the seat. Or a sacrificial sock!! Glad ya didn't get hurt or worse yet impaled. That's one of those kamikazee turkeys with a vengeance. You killed his kin!!

It is illeagle to touch any road kill here in Idaho, so I had to leave him where he layed. Also it was two days before the opening of turkey season.

That sucks! But it's kinda funny too! I let a decent buck walk 3 years ago on the last day of season, was beat and just didn't want to fool with dragging one. Hit a spike on the way home....$3500 worth of damage!! Wished was was still pulling one out of the woods!! Lol!!
