My plan when we get to NZ is to hunt them with a bow, after calling them in like they do in the USA.

As far as I know our turkeys are retarded unlike the American turkeys. I was told this is because our turkeys have no natural predators.
Whatever the reason, our turkeys are still retarded.
Yeah they certainly aren't shy, no need for camo face paint stealth ninja blinds here.
Although the yanks do like to get dressed up so maybe there aint any need for them there either.:P
Got out this morning spotted one as soon as we drove into the block, it took off up the fenceline so we followed in the truck till it disappeared over the brow, hopped out and snuck over the edge and it had let us right to a mob of at least a dozen....definately retarded:thumbsup:
Had a big blaze up, got momentarily distracted by a couple of hares. Got two of each out of that volley, coupla big gobblers but choke was a bit tight. And yes I am wearing hot pink hi-viz:cool:

We caught up with a couple more mobs, gave my mate a hoon with no luck, at about mid day we went back around to where we had the first bomb up to see a big mob heading up into the blue gums, with the last few rounds I ran behind the ridge to the other side of the blue gums and got another couple of hens.
8.5kg of meat all up, got some good tips off youtube for whipping out the breast and legs only took a couple of mins per bird. Definitely taking chilly bin and more ammo next time (one box didnt cut it) and gotta get my .22 done it wouldve been the tool for the job.
Awesome day burning round the farm in the wee suzuki got into some wet spots and climbed some hills, definately gained a bit more respect for her especially on road tires:ORLY:
#1 driver BF get some driving practice in as well!
Forgot to add the knives from @ebf were very useful, I cut the skin with the skinner, then sliced out the breast with the filet knife then cut the legs out with the butcher knife...used the old "excalibro" to lop the feet off though:thumbsup:
What was yr score?
That was the answer! Well done

It's more difficult with Swans Maca. Their webbed feet slap the hell out of your thighs.
So that's why you walk funny?
