I shot my first turkey about 45 years ago. I didn't even intend to shoot it but when it took flight and the front sight of my 22 settled on it, I just pulled the trigger. It set it's wings and glided for about 200 yards before it hit the ground. My cocker spaniel went for the retrieve but, after he dragged it about fifty feet, he just sat there and waited for me. the bird was tasty. My second turkey was taken 40 years later. Again, the 22 did the trick. In fact, it was the same 22 rifle! This turkey wasn't flying, the dog was a beagle who had no intention of retrieving anything, and the bird was barely edible. GD
