Turkey Hunting
 

Has anyone ever shot a turkey with a luger. I understand the early carbines were used for hunting. I amagine an artillery would do the trick. Gobble Gobble BANG! BANG!!

Wild turkey hunting is challenging enough. I don't think I would like to try with any pistol.

around here and in texas doubt you could ever get in range to get a shot.

They did hunt other small game with the P08 though. :D

On the Lamb, I can just see that bullet path deviating and going right through that soldat's hand!

And then there is this guy.

I think that this might work!
 

I would bring along a spare drum!

Luger carbine with stock & drum. What an elegant way to kill Thanksgiving dinner.

All that power from a 7.65 luger round!
 

Cheeper to shoot than 9mm

Challenging? It is more challenging to get them out of your yard when they decide they like it.. we've even tried spraying them with the hose.. wild turkeys are pretty stupid.

If They are so stupid why are we doing the chasing?

Come on up north, sit on the porch with a friend chatting and having a cuppa.. and they will be right up scratching out your garden.. I suppose that is a good side of living on the backside of nowhere.

Ben Franklin wanted a turkey to be our national bird! instead of the eagle. I guess you proved your point!!

They are smart enough here to read the hunting regulations. Can't find them around then.

They don't even run from the cats or dogs.. this is about 6 feet off the porch while 4 of us are sitting and talking without trying to be quiet or anything.

Turkey hunting is a big deal here and there are lots of them running about my place.

They can be very hard to hunt-they can fly through brush that you can barely see through.

Others can get used to being around people and even become nuisances as pictured.

They can be picked off with a well thrown rock.

The breast is about the only part most folks eat.

Yes, they are very gamey and only the young ones are worth eating. They make a mess and gardens require fortified fencing.

Great looking Luger carbine, Eric! :thumbup:

Did Eugene make the stock too???

Everything is real! The stock is numbered to the gun #3231t. Eugene wasn't around when I bought this eleven years ago!

As to the hunting and shooting with a Luger, my son & grandson occasionally shoot a wild turkey with bow & arrow. In our neck of the woods, turkeys are not city birds and get spooked and fly away quickly at the slightest sound or movement from even many yards away. I'm sure that someone has hunted them with Lugers, especially artillery models; wouldn't be too tough - kind of overpowering the job.
