How Many Members Here Has Taken A Nice Jake Or Jenny On The Wing?
This usually happens for me when, I am Pheasant Hunting and the Fall Turkey Season is open. If you are a good Wingshot with the Pheasants-- a Plump Jake or Jenny usually comes down easy.

Yup...they die very easy while flying.

I killed a gobbler on the wing. Had been shot a half hour before and flew about 200 yards into a tall grass patch. Flushed when we about stepped on it. It actually brushed me when it skyrocketed upwards
I halfway collected my faculties and swung around shooting it.
Made for a ugly picture. Chewed the fan and body pretty bad with the 3.5 Winchester #6’s

My second gobbler was shot on the wing. I had been chasing him all day and heard him coming toward roost when I saw a coyote scramble toward him - and he took wing and I swung and shot! Only mount I have on the wing and he was quite the tom!!

I’ve killed one hen on the wing in the fall. Flushed her and shot her.

Did it a lot in the late 60's and early 70's.

Killed a jake in the fall early in my career on the wing ... I flushed him with a swing and a miss on the first shot

Right now, it is still warm in New York. I was out Pheasant hunting on October 2nd and Honey Bees are still active. Fall Turkey got knocked back 3 weeks from Oct 1st in my area of New York. Looking forward to October 20th! I am going to take ABBEY out a few times for Fall Turkey Hunting and my callers the rest of the short 2 week Season. New Jersey starts on Oct 27th for 1 week and, I cant wait for that State as well! I think my best shot on a flying Fall Turkey was many years ago as, I set up next to a very recently harvested corn field. Waste corn was everywhere! Flock came into the Field and, I got busted as they were almost in Gun range. Putt-Putt! and they started that fast walk away. I ran on out and got them flying in every direction. A Large Hen flew directly in front of me and, I gave her a good lead. Down she came-- Easy Pickings as Dwain Blain would say about Flying Fall Turkeys. Her crop was about to bust with corn when dressed later.
