Hiya Friends...

It seems that when you hunt wild turkey, you have to be really careful -
they're more dangerous than they look...

WILD TURKEY TALE

Larry Lands Sr. suffered a shotgun wound to one of his legs. The
assailant was a dead turkey.

Larry Sr. and his son, Larry Jr., had been out poaching in Washington
County, Missouri, when Larry Jr. spotted an eastern wild turkey.

After successfully calling the bird in to his range, Larry Jr. shot the
bird. It was not yet the season for wild turkey hunts, so Larry Jr. had
to hurry up and bag the bird as fast as he could, tossing the prize into
the trunk of their car, along with his semi-automatic shotgun.

After several minutes of sounds coming from the trunk of the car, the
Lands duo stopped their car to investigate. (For those of you unaware of
the neurological phenomenon of fowl, turkeys, much like chickens, have a
pseudo-active nervous system which can last many minutes even after the
body has died.)

Upon opening the trunk of the car, they saw the turkey, standing on its
own two feet, flapping its wings and obviously reacting in the way that
dying birds behave.

Unsure of what to do, they slammed shut the trunk of the car, at which
point the turkey slipped onto the shotgun's trigger, discharging a round
through the body of the car, and lodging itself into the leg of Mr.
Lands Sr.

[Publisher's Note: The moral of the story? Always fully discharge your
shotgun after use, leave the safety on, and for heaven's sake, beware
the dying bird!]
