Turkey Goes Through Windshield

Hell, enough Wild Turkey and I've tried to fly

 

That's a good sized bird! Glad the driver is okay

A friend of mine had a hawk fly right through the windshield of his logging truck then go #######... told me that story after I showed him the barn owl I smoked and was trying to nurse back to health in the cab. "Be careful, wrap him up in a blanket in case he goes nuts"

 

I saw a crow smack into the windshield of a Schneider driver going into Nashville. Shattered his windshield. I suppose a turkey could do a lot more damage. I hate those things. Walk all over my deck, scratch it up, crap everywhere. More of them should be run over.

 

well, they are good eatin'. bag a few

 

I've seriously thought about it. They look scraggly though. Also haven't checked on what shot to buy.

 

#5 or #6 in 12 gauge should do it. short range. to 30 or 40 yrds

wild ones aren't as fat as farm raised. lol

 

I hit one in a car down in Minneapolis decades back. I saw it flip in air, nail a city PD car behind me. Long before dash cameras. I kept flying.

 

If you look at the roof of the Coke truck, it did more damage than just a windshield. I hit something big one night, bent my right side mirror in, once I was following some truck, they hit something big, I thought it was an Eagle, but I think it was an owl. They can get pretty big too.

 

that's a month's supply of dinners!! lol
