make certain the sucker is truly DEAD before putting it in your vest.
That's [bleep] funny!

Yep - we hunted in that horrendous wind in South Dakota yesterday. Buddy knocked one down in a single row of trees, he took off running. His GSP found the bird, he put it in the back of his vest. Before I could tell him the head was still up, that rooster was back on the ground sprinting for his life, but he didn't stand a chance with GSPs and a Weimaraner within 10 yds...
