UnionAMG Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 ... I thought turkeys could fly. Going the other way... a part of me still gets surprised when a duck takes off and starts flying. I always just see them waddling around and I get used to them just walking everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullpen Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 They can. Just for a short distance though.... And for that short distance they sure make a whole helluva lot o' noise too! They don't fly, they flop. Many years ago when I still went deer hunting back home with my dad and uncles, I must have rousted one from it's cover. When that thing "tried" to take off, it sounded like a fuggin bull mastif falling out of a tree. Made all kinds of racket, and scared the bejesus out of me. Flop is a good word to use to describe what they try to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I once had a turkey fly over my car to get across a two lane road. I was expecting it to come through my windshield, but it made it over without contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 pic? Yeah, I always have a camera ready to film in case a turkey flies over my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullpen Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 you killed Bambi! Oh hellllllll no, I haven't shot at a deer since there was a Clinton in office dude and haven't actually killed one since George the First. Any resemblence between a hunter and me is strictly coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I once had a turkey fly over my car to get across a two lane road. I was expecting it to come through my windshield, but it made it over without contact. same here! I was driving on a rural road and it saw the turkey attempting to take off over the road and thought I had plenty of time. It was one of the most ungraceful takeoffs I have ever seen, but that turkey just cleared my car, and it took like what seemed like 10+ seconds trying to get airborn. It is amazing those things can fly- they are so large. Pretty wild to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
