Unfortunate turkey accident

[soil]

This turkey caught my eye a few years ago while driving to work. I'm not sure what happened. I know we've bumped them in the dark while coon hunting and I've always wondered how they fly and land in the dark.

Watching them roost up during the late season I've often thought how much life would suck as a turkey.

All the strutting, gobbling and showing off was finally too much for him to handle.......

I saw one just like that down by the 1000 acre unit in 04. Pretty wild. Wonder if it snaps their neck or suffocates them?

Mountain lion carried it up there, he will be back to get it
