A turkey flew into our kitchen window once when it was dark outside. Killed it. It shook the whole house. Luckily it must have hit the center frame because the glass was fine just a small hole in the screen. It knocked all the junk off the window sill into the sink

I was driving in my 1972 VW Beetle many years ago in Riding Mountain Park in Manitoba. Along comes a duck and flew into the windshield at an angle. It got a glancing blow and just kept on flying. Lucky duck.

She just came across the yard with this poor thing in her mouth. ( ![]()

I hope reading this thread didn't jinx me? I only came here as I thought it would be a joke thread played off the dead skunk.
Haven't hit or needed to kill anything in quite a few years. I don't hunt and often throw perfectly good keeper fish back. Wish me luck, I don't want to post a dead duck thread. |

I had a cat when I was a kid, The biggest black Tom you would ever want to see, Tinkerbell. He would bring home piece of stuff and leave them on the door step. Squirrel and rabbit heads or bird wing on occasion a whole mouse. Sometimes two or three in a day.

It was a nice Sunday afternoon, just watching football with front door open, but the glass storm door was closed. All of a sudden "BAM", wtf? Went out side to check what crashed into it, and there she was on the side of the house, a deer.
I can't image how exciting things would have been if that door had been open. It had to be moving at a good clip. Snot all over the glass door, but it didn't break. The deer was definitely woozy from the lick. The cat kills birds from time to time, but she's been eying the racoon. It's just a bit too big for her to handle.

Mother Nature is a great recycler , the weak/sick in the animal world get consumed . So the bird whether left alive or dead will be recycled .

On the same trail this morning that the bird hit happened. About a mile further from that spot, I came upon a large snapping turtle laying on the asphalt with her legs off the side and digging.
She was trying to lay her eggs in the worst possible spot for digging. As I rode past, I saw two other spots within 20 ft where she had tried the same. Hardly any dirt..it's all track ballast. Those snappers are not very smart!
