Who ever shot a frozen turkey?

Too true. I was a hunter, 50 years ago. I didn’t like killing things, so I quit… but I sure didn’t quit eating meat!

If you shoot a frozen turkey wouldn’t the bullets bounce right off?…….LOL

It should say AND cans FOR targets. This is the second day in a row that the text has been mish-mashed.

Bub is absolutely correct. A little refresher on shooting and gun safety, maybe a visit to a range, and give hunting a try. Best to go with an experienced hunter, though, so you can learn the “in and outs.” If you actually DO shoot something, you need to know what to do with it. But Betty is right, too. Big difference between picking it up all neatly packaged at the butcher and having to do that yourself.

Shooting is easy, its the gutting, skinning, cleaning and such that is hard and messy.

IIRC a turkey shoot involves a shotgun and a randomly numbered target. As long as you hit the piece of paper 20 feet away, you were in the game.

For once I agree with Betty.

How would she know?

It’s not the shooting that’s difficult, it’s the cleaning and gutting that’s hard, and in the case of elk and moose, carting it five miles out to be butchered.

Shooting a frozen turkey is easy enough as they can’t run or duck.. but they do tend to blow up if you use the right calibre of bullet.

I just went after the garden pests.
