   Just three days left I almost let the season get past me.  Later morning hunt. Worked a field with birds and they left. Picked another hay field. I only had a small site window straight out front. Heard a gobble and a pair of birds followed tight to the tree row towards me. When it appeared it was like in my face. Red dot sight placed at Base of head. That bird didn't even flop around. It was less than ten yards and it blew feathers out another ten yards. You can see in this picture the string of features blown beyond the bird,

True. The first one I ever shot flopped around all over the place. I was only 13 or 14 and my dad and uncle weren’t there to help. It wasn’t a good time.

             No, it isn't. Been there done that. I have tried to stand on the head. They are powerful birds and those wings flapping around will beat you to death. I have grabbed the legs and got spurred on the wrists. At the same time those wings were again flapping, and I felt like a helicopter getting ready to take flight.
