My first turkey
« on: May 07, 2013, 07:20:16 AM »
Shot my first turkey yesterday.  It was AWESOME!!  Of course, it scared everybody in the frozen food section half to death! ::) ;)
Dang, getting old is a lot more fun than I expected it would be!   ;D  Gerald

Good for you Padre.  I think I'm gonna have to do the same thing.  Turkey season is here and I'm still finishing Patty's greenhouse, planting seeds, rototilling, tuning up equipment, picking up winter debris and fixing fences.  I'll just load up the 12 ga. when I go to the grocery tomorrow ::)

Should read:

Mad-PETE burst from the frozen food section bent on mayhem....

Actually Pete does not hunt turkeys because he is not  a cannibal.
But he is a vegan by proxie.
