Target Practice for Turkeys | Live Free or Die

So I'm going to, I'm going to call out some of these turkeys to go on a date with me, and I've been working on my call really. Yeah, it goes like this: you sounded like a turkey. Spring and turkey hunting go hand in hand. At the mountains of North Carolina, homesteaders Tony and Amelia want to get in on the action.

I've been wanting to hunt since I was like 15 or something, and this year we saw a bunch of turkey scratching everywhere. I thought, well, that's free food just hanging out, and they want us to eat them. We just assumed that they wanted us to eat them. I don't know, maybe they didn't.

There's just one problem: I've never hunted before, so this is all new for me, and we need a shotgun. So they're paying a visit to a neighbor who might be able to help. I wonder what Dad's going to be up to; probably something horse-related. My dad lives really close by on a small farm. He's got horses and he's got some chickens.

Hello! Hey! Oh, you look so nice! Hey guy, how you doing? I'm going to shoot holes in all kinds of—okay, I'm going to ask one thing: me and you are real silly guys. Yeah? Okay, we're going to be serious now. Okay, from here on in, life serious about the gun. Cool.

He W being serious, he don't look serious. I know Marks, a wacky, zany character like me; he knows how to crank it up a notch. So, there she be. That's beautiful, isn't it? Here we go. It's a nice gun, it's like a shotgun to me. Yeah, nice! It's a pump shotgun. This is the release for the pump.

I've never shot a shotgun before. I never even shot a gun. When you bring up your target, okay, you bring up the front bead first, then you bring up the rear piece. Okay. Okay, all right, let's shoot! I'm a little bit nervous; I'm a little concerned that the shotgun might blow me up, so I'm really trying to avoid that.

I'm going to lean forward just a little bit. Fire one! Ready? Jesus Christ! Jeez! Ow! Christ, man! That one felt worse! God blew a big old hole! Look at that! I think you're wasting bullets on a static target! Turkeys don't sit around, you know!

So, we're going to reduce some moving targets. We have a cardboard turkey, and my dad has set up an elaborate pulley system where the turkey is going to go flying across this field. Looks like a turkey to me. If I blow its head off, can I eat it? Ready to make the turkey fly?

He got a moving target! He’s flying. [Music] Did I hit it? I think I hit it! I hit it! That's impressive, man! Hit it on the first try! Mar hooks us up with the shotgun, and I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself.

Are we going to eat this thing or what? I was able to shoot that moving cardboard target! I'm more confident now about hunting. Really doing this, I got him right!
