Cracked corn in a feed bag with a hole in it, then lead him to it, have him go in for feed, wrap him up in the bag with his head out, and then off to the kill cone. He's pretty darned strong, so I wouldn't want to take him on without a bit of assistance.

the kill cone

12 guage, HeviShot 3.5" Turkey Load with patternmaster choke.. It just rolls them... Or, takes their head off....

Takes the wrestling out of the game...

I thought about just whcking him with a machette, but I need to take him out a bit more gracefully than that. Not quite a pet, but very appreciated around our house for his demeanor.

My first turkey (farm raised and purchased) was taken with a .40 S&W. Makes pretty short work.

That sounds fun...

Bought the bird from a farmer in Boisfort. Headed up to elk camp. Shot the bird about a mile away, then drove to elk camp. As I was turning in, I changed direction and sped off about 70 yards out of sight, hopped out of the truck and shot into a dirt bank, POP, POP, POP......................POP. Then headed back to camp.

One of my buds asked what that was about, I said nothing. So he goes back to the truck and grabs his grouse, hands them to me and tells me to "Clean my birds, bitch."

I then go to the back of my truck, pull out a non-rigor turkey, still bleeding, and tell him, "this is a bird."

Everyone else in camp turned white, except for me and my buddy, thinking that I had poached a turkey, and then I sat down by the fire and proceeded to pluck the turkey for the next hour or so. Anyway, after a few hours I showed them the receipt from the farmer, showing them that I had purchased the bird.

Part of a practical joke, but the bird did eat really well.
