There was a Barry Crump book, might have been "hang on a minute mate" or "The adventures of Sam Cash", where two of his characters went collecting turkeys at night: One poked them with a stick when roosting on a fence, and the other used a pair of sharpened hedge trimmers to lop off their heads when they stuck them out to see what had woken them up

I used to use my little Rem pump .22 - hold torch in one hand with fingers over lens so very little light - pick a paddock with nice fresh clover -sneak up to turkeys roosting on fence or gate - get a look at what they were - head shoot young gobblers point blank range - delicious -
