coup de grâce

[Eric Gregg]

Grab em' by the legs and enjoy the ride.

And try to hold on for 8 seconds....the only thing is that you will not have rodeo clowns to come in and save you when things go bad

If I have a bird that is still flopping with his head staying on the ground by the time I get over to him, I get him onto his belly with his feet under him, tuck his wings on his sides and hold him still as he expires. I do not personally believe in handling the last moments of this extraordinary game animal with such callous disregard as stomping a boot on his head. However, if that kind of thing trips your trigger, Conan, have at it.

Have you ever seen anyone run up and stomp on the head of a deer that lays dying? Yea, me neither.

Well if that's how ya feel, then mebbe you should consider apologizing for shootin em in the first place.
There's not a lot of sympathy and compassion in a turkey's capacity to understand social etiquette.  Ever notice how much compassion they give one another when one of their buddies gets smacked in the head with a load of lead?  I doubt the last thoughts of a turkey while a hunter is standing on his head would include even a remote thought about the callous disregard of the hunter.

When I was younger, I would bite em in the head and shake em like a dog would a rag--Pretty effective method.  I had to resort to other tactics as I got older and had a turkey fly off with my dentures firmly embedded.

Foot to the neck.

I tried the grabing the legs, didn't turn out so well........

Turkey, Pheasant, Goose, or Grouse, if they are still floppen when I get to 'em I wring the're necks ( a 360 degree twist) IMHO it is the most humane.

I  had an experienced turkey hunter tell me one time " You have not won the game and it's not over until you are standing over the bird with your boot on his neck".  I agree with him!
