Spankey, I bet he wouldn't taste as good as a partridge!!!A local shoot near me has been releasing black turkeys on his shoots as well as pheasant and partridge. I nearly ran one over too!
I'm not sure what they fly like but reckon they'd have a bit more meat than a partridge.

They fly like rubbish unless you have a mountain to launch them off and then when they do fly you havent got any cartridges in your gun. Ask Adamant

Ha ha, when I first started stalking on the shoot I beat for I was out one morning when a huge thing flew/glided past my head. I damn near soiled myself, it came from nowhere and just missed me. It was a peacock, which, up until then I had always presumed (no, I don't know why) were flightless.
Its true Adam had just shot a good overhead bird and it was a real bugger that it happened that way as he was determined that a turkey would be in the bag that day. Thats shooting for you though and there is always this seasons turkeys to have a go at mate. It was bloody funny though.Once they're off the ground, they look like a Blenheim bomber coming out of the cover - and in my defence, I had just shot a rather good high crossing pheasant, which is such a rarity that in my excitement, I forgot to reload ...
