Driving to Hickman county it was still dark out, barely the first hint of light and raining. The worst of a storm had passed and there was a little tree debris on the road. Then, off the side of the road... There was a turkey running thru the grass. Guess it got blown out of the tree
 
Wife and I were driving to work few years back through turkey infested area. Black dark and a gobbler was in the road.I got out and walked right up to it and he kind of just waddled to the ditch. He was not there after work.
 
I killed one I Wayne county one morning after storms worse than last night. I knew something was wrong with because it was just flopping around in some pines and I'm gonna be completely honest, it was before legal shooting time and I had know clue what sex of was but I wasn't gonna let it flop around until the coyotes found it so I slipped pretty close and it popped its head up and I killed it. Walked over and it was a tom, with both its legs dislocated where they meet the body.

I was glad it was a tom but had it been a hen I would NOT have felt bad about it! Yes I know the whole nature takes its course deal and it did that morning, this predator foundit bbefore the others though.

that's crazy, glad you got to put him out. I'd hate to see a turkey flopping around after being blown out of a tree
