QDMAV8R lost the turkey rights because of me.... It was spring of 2007. I'll never forget it. I wasn't hunting that day, just enjoying the beautiful spring morning. They were gobbling on the roost first thing in the morning! I killed the biggest gobbler on the whole place that morning with a pair of nunchucks and a Nancy Drew novel... I didn't intend to kill him. I just wanted to see how close I could get. It wasn't until we made eye contact that I realized I was between him and his hens! I guess he could sense that I was in the mood as well. Not wanting to lose his hens to a gringo like me, he attacked with all the rage of an army of internet ninjas. I thought I was a goner until my Nancy Drew novel conveniently fell from my pocket reminding me that I'm somebody even though I'm getting my tail handed to me by a 26 pound ball of feathers and furry. The bright yellow cover of the book distracted him just long enough for me to pull my nunchucks and go to work! The first few licks didn't seem to phase him. I was undeterred recalling Nancy's motivating words. Just when I thought I had him where I wanted him, he Grabbed My nunchucks snatching them almost effortlessly from my hands. I instinctively shoulder rolled to the book laying several feet away. I slung the book backhanded like a ninja star hitting him at the base of his skull giving me the victory.
The scares and nightmares remind me often of that day.... That day the land owner publicly humiliated me in front of my hunting capadres. I will never be the same and QDMAV8R will never recover his turkey rights......
