Don't know about anyone hunting Turkeys with a Luger. Skeeter Skelton wrote an article in Shooting Times years ago about the Luger pistol. He said his old Rural Letter Carrier was a WWI Vet who used to carry an Artillery with the shoulder stock that he brought home.
He said he used to watch for Pheasants on his route, and shoot their heads off with it, out of the window of his rig.

I wonder was there ever a competitive luger shooting program anywhere?

Lots of them in Switzerland.

Actually someone did shoot a turkey with a Luger. The story is in the next thread after this one...84 Year Old Korean Vet Shoot Burgler With His German Luger,

Also significantly counter to most states' regulations! In NY state, for example, one is not supposed to discharge a firearm, or even load it--if hunting-- within 50' of the road, nor in a direction that would carry the shot down or across the road. Generally, shooting from a car is discouraged or illegal. I lived in Texas for a while and my impression is that the regs were a little more lax, based on my foggy memories of hunting stories there...

In which states is it permissible to stick the muzzle out the vehicle's window and blast away?

I thought this was valuable info! http://www.huntercourse.com/blog/201...-hunting-laws/

The first and last time I hunted and shot a squirrel with buckshot and it and it resembled a bad toupee. What is the hardest to hunt? What would be a hunters' dream? No luger required!! ~~ Eric.........

Jerry, that's how we shoot Grouse here. We hit them in the head with a .22 pistol or rifle, or a .17 HMR when we catch them picking gravel on logging roads. Once they fly off the road into the underbrush, they disappear.

Has Anyone Ever Hunted Turkey With A Luger?
 
(If I post this I'll git a whippin'. Hee Hee. I dood it anyway. :p)

I'll bet the gentleman who was just banned from the forum has done it.

Off a galloping horse;

Over the shoulder;

At 500 yds;

While reciting the 1936 New York phone book from memory;

Backwards;

In Greek.

(Oh, I'm a bad wittle boy!)

I'm ready for my spanking now, Sir.
