What are some funny stories about turkey hunting?

One memorable story is about a hunter who mistook a large rock for a turkey in the early morning fog. He stalked it for ages, trying to get a good shot. When the fog cleared a bit, he realized his mistake and felt really silly. His buddies still tease him about it.

Sure. Once, a hunter was trying to be really stealthy while approaching a turkey. But he didn't notice a small ditch. He stepped right into it and tumbled forward, scaring the turkey away. But the way he tumbled was so comical that his friends couldn't stop laughing for days.

A young hunter had his first turkey hunting experience. He was nervous and excited at the same time. He set up his blind in a clearing near some oak trees where he had seen turkeys before. As the sun rose, he heard the first gobble. He waited patiently, his heart pounding. After what seemed like hours, a big tom turkey strutted into view. He took a deep breath and fired. It was a great moment for him as he realized he had just had a successful first hunt.

There's this story about an old - time hunter. He had been hunting turkeys for years. One day, he took his grandson with him. They found a group of turkeys. The old hunter showed his grandson how to be patient. They waited for the right moment and finally caught a turkey. It was a great experience for the grandson to learn from the old hunter's skills.

One funny Thanksgiving turkey story is about a family who had a pet turkey named Tom. Tom was always strutting around the yard and thought he was the king. On Thanksgiving day, the family decided to have a 'pretend' Thanksgiving dinner with Tom as the guest of honor instead of on the table. They made a special meal for him and Tom seemed to enjoy all the attention.

One funny turkey story is about a turkey that chased a cat. The cat was minding its own business when the turkey suddenly decided to run after it. The cat was so startled and climbed up a tree while the turkey strutted around the base of the tree as if it had won a great victory.

Once, my family was having a turkey dinner. My little cousin thought the turkey's leg was a drumstick from a real drum and started banging it on the table, making everyone laugh.

One interesting story is about a hunter who used an old - fashioned musket to hunt turkeys. He had to be really close to the turkey to have a chance of hitting it. He stalked this one big tom turkey for days. One day, he got within range and fired. The turkey was so stunned that it just stood there for a moment before running off. But he managed to track it down and bring it home.

Exciting action makes a turkey hunting story great. For example, a close encounter with a large and wily turkey that almost gets away but is finally caught. Also, the element of surprise, like when a turkey appears out of nowhere just when the hunter least expects it.

Once, a caller on the Butterball Turkey Hotline asked if they could stuff the turkey with a whole pumpkin instead of the traditional stuffing. It was so absurd and funny. The hotline operator patiently explained that it was not a good idea as it would not cook evenly and could cause a mess in the oven.
