The 'Elusive' Wild Turkey ......
If there is one thing I will admit for sure, it's that Long Island guys CANNOT hunt! We'd be better off buying a turkey at the store, and saying we bagged it, than actually trying to shoot one.... The boys Down South and over in Pennsylvania - where hunting is a religion, not just a sport - do it way better. However, i had no idea that we were THIS BAD ......
How bad? Here's how bad. For the first time in about a century, it is legal to hunt Wild Turkey on Long Island. The wildlife people estimate that there are over 3000 of them around the area, so they figured thinning the herd might be a good idea. That is, until they found out how inept we are with a shotgun... The area sold over 200 permits to hunt Wild Turkey, and after five days, they have estimated that - GUESS HOW MANY? - turkeys have been shot? How about eight? Yes, eight.....
No, Wild turkeys aren't the easiest birds to shoot, but they're not that hard.... Maybe it's just lies, but I've heard you can scare one to death by blowing an air horn, or that they drown by looking up in the air when it rains.... Hell, i saw two of them at William Floyd's estate last month. Clearly, this is the biggest mismatch of wild game and a hunter since this guy ......

Come on, all you New York types are supposed to be mobsters who love to shoot 'em up, right?
Mike--I am sure a few of us down here would be happy to come up to Long Island and show you fellas how to hunt turkeys....teg
Yeah, but shooting a turkey is harder than putting a 22 in a guy's head from close range...
