Hammergun Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Aled I hate to **** on your chips, but chickens can't fly Chickens can fly, albeit only very short distances for no more than a couple of seconds. This is how they get onto their roosting perches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 The "hop". You couldn't really get a proper driven bird out of a game crop though could you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squintshot Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Don't know about lagality of shooting turkeys in this country. The Americans on the other hand make a bit of a deal about it and it's quite a sport, sitting on their fat ***** calling the turkeys into shooting range and then BLAM!!!!!

henry d Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Squint, remember our cousins only use sporting methods i.e.3 1/2" magnum buffered No.3`s out of an Xtra full choke at 60+yds(any closer and you don`t need to pluck `em) But hey they aalso shoot each other too! so ther`s something to be said for it!

Cranfield Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 You obviously have no idea of the amount of skill required to call in a wild turkey. I once attended three turkey hunts, on consecutive days. On each occasion we walked many miles and my friend (a Champion Caller), was only able to call in one bird. I had no interest in shooting the jake, that strutted up to within 30 yards of us. Probably the luckiest turkey in Georgia. The reason for the heavy loads and tight chokes, is that wild birds are very much bigger than domestic turkeys. Most permits are only issued to shoot the male birds (jakes), which are significantly bigger than the female. In a book I have, an Indian hunter describes the difference between hunting deer and turkeys. He said something like; " a deer looks up and says , "is that a branch over there, or an Indian ?", then disappears. A turkey just disappears."

henry d Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I have nowt but admiration for turkey gobblers,I just prefer pigeons and fowl with a gale under their wings so theyre doing mach3 when they pass within range no offence like.
