A Cheshire County man is facing multiple charges after being accused of shooting a turkey from a car window.

What's his NES screen name ???

When the judge asked him how he would plead, the man answered, "WHAT?"

 

[Golddiggie]

I thought 9mm was only used for bear and large game.

 

[Blackmore]

"...turkeys like bird feeders and they hang out in people's yards."

 

[imgone]

Doesn't 9mm blow the lungs out of the body ? What does it do to a poor turkey ?

Heard a story recently of a VT guy slamming the bolt home on a 30-06 with the intent of shooting a deer from his car windows and it fired pointed at his floor boards. Can’t even imagine how long that ringing lasted

I prefer braised over poached...

Gobbler has crazy eyes...

Surprised you didn't get a bear to show up with all those pic-i-nik baskets...

Sorry for the thread drift...

There's a gang in my neighborhood. About twenty of the fat bastards just strut into my backyard like they own the place. From my office window I could easily pick off one or two without anyone noticing. If I thought my wife wouldn't skin ME alive, I'd be tempted...

I took this pic the day after Thanksgiving last year. It kinda cracked me up and reminded of that old Beatles album cover.

Your honor, I was in fear of my life or serious bodily injury when the turkey charges towards my open car window, and I only had seconds to react.

I went on a deer hunt in Maine a couple weeks ago and had spoken to a professional guide. He told me most deer in northern Maine are taken from the street…

It does this. Strips the head and feathers right off. Most of the guts as well.
Guy probably used 124 gr Lu-gar ammo.



And if you're wondering, this is what .40 does to a turkey
Dam near vaporizes it

No name of the poacher has been released yet. I presume that this happen in one of the towns that border Mass. as MEP was involved with the case.

I’d be pissed if I had to take a poaching charge and it was only for a turkey.

 

[G4Y4HK]

If he wanted to catch something for Thanksgiving dinner, should have just used a .22 pellet rifle, and preferably one designed integrally suppressed. Turkeys are pretty easily head shottable.

Don't shoot a turkey our of season or with the wrong impliment and you'll never have to worry about it.

Dunno about a turkey, but (about) the last game my dad took was a pair of partridges with a .30-'06. One shot each (no wasting ammo). Shot them through the necks. Not sure of the range, but, regardless, it was a pair of good shots!

His hunting buddies thought he was full of crap when he told him that he'd done it, so he pulled one out of each pocket of his coat. Considering he was over 70, it's an even better story.

Bitch probably had pointed elbows, too.

I mean like they actually have hooks on their elbows, right?

I witnessed this in Arizona a few weeks ago. Truck pulled over on the side of a fairly busy road and driver was standing next to it aiming a rifle. The funny bit was that she was wearing camo as if there wasn't a big truck two feet away.

That's why I picked up a .22 Air Rifle with a built in Silencer.
Mostly for the Resident Canada Goose season. Bag Limit
of 5 per day and 15 possession. They will do a 1" group
out to 100 yards. I think I can do a Head Shot at 50 ft.
No searching for Bird Shot through out the Meat. You
can usually get close enough for a head shot at Turkeys too.

Swapped the Air Tank for a 1.1L Carbon Fiber one and got a 9L
Carbon Fiber Tank to refill it in the field. There is also the Air Compressor
to refill the tanks to 4500 PSI.

That is great, Don't get caught. Using that on waterfowl can get you jammed up. Of course, you have to get caught first.

You just have to use Lead Free Pellets, Which I have.

AHHH! No. The law is very clear on waterfowl, only allows shotguns or archery. and a rifle is not in that group.
Call over to New Hampshire Fish and Game and tell them what you are doing. I am sure you will get a response. Here is the address and phone number to call.

I'm chasing the dam things away from my car in the mornings, and that's park in front of an apartment building. It's gotten to the point where if I wanted one I could reach out and just grab it.

Where you live they know they're fairly safe from the mean men with the hurty sticks. They're bold. And mean.
