Thread: Interesting Way To Hunt Turkeys

Our NZ stock anywhere I've shot them (hardly can call it hunting) tend to be poor quality. Grew up on a dairy farm where they were just a bloody nuisance. These days I cull them for a couple of farmers who hate them, big numbers foul the pasture. And they carry coccidiosis which infects young stock. To cull them just find where they roost, take a 12g pump, a mate with a bright lantern and pockets full of rounds. I took 50 cartridges once and shot 45 on a dark night, half on the roost half in the air. Approximately. Fast and furious as quick as I could thumb shells in and work tge action. Shoulder blue 'n black for a couple of weeks. Too quick to seat butt properly lol.

They also make great practice live targets for 200m to 350m deer rifle. My 270Win turns them into feather dusters
