Today is snow-covered and on the chilly side, so it's a great "soup" day. For brunch I polished off the last of a big pot of turkey noodle soup I'd made several days ago. I canned up several quarts of turkey soup stock from a batch of fall birds I shot in October of '22. Makes great soup too! Well, during the last couple spoons full from the bowl I bit down on a regular old .177 caliber pellet gun pellet!......we aren't allowed to shoot turkeys here, spring or fall, with any firearm except a shotgun. That hurt my mouth too. Dadgum outlaws, lol

Durned Pellet Shooting Varmint toting Outlaws

Rained all day yesterday,last night and today.Snow is going fast.

Next time hit it in the head

probably somebody using the only gun they had to try and get the turkey to stop digging up their garden.

can't think a 177 pellet gun would be the most effective poaching tool on a turkey

body shot with a 177 would probably be half way decent harassment but lands a pellet 3/4 inch deep all the same not enough to kill , just enough to wound

One of my sister's deer had a .177 pellet in its shoulder

Don’t think I’ve killed a turkey in the last several years that didn’t have some #4’s or 2’s in the breast. There’s only 3 of us that hunt the place and none of us shoot anything larger than 9’s, lol.
