    My next door neighbor (who's about 80, from "the old country") is thinking that very thought.

    And he has a gun. Not sure what, but he's been taking the groundhogs out with it all year.

    ...actually, he has (at least) two, he keeps offering to loan me one...

    Typically, turkey hunting is done by taking a head shot using a shotgun with a very tight choke. Not an easy critter to hunt, assuming you play by the rules and only shoot toms. They are very wary.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    So I understand. But when they wander into you backyard, 10 feet from your back door, it makes for an easier shot.
