I am a transplant from New Jersey where "turkey shoots" are common on Sunday afternoons in the fall. Prizes, such as frozen turkeys, hams, etc., are won by shooting with 12 gauge shotguns at paper targets with bullseyes......with the most amount of pellets in the center winning. No turkeys are harmed !!! Is there anyone out there who has any knowledge of any gun clubs, vfw halls, taverns, etc. who sponser these events in Florida....if so.......PLEASE let me know ?

OK, so this thread is not referencing live turkey shooting apparently, but wild turkeys are found in Florida, and I personally found this documentary called "My Life as a Turkey" to be rather life-changing:

You can watch the whole thing here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xvc...-hd_shortfilms

It was actually filmed in Florida, and it is must-see viewing! Full of beautiful wild scenery, an amazing story, and you will probably develop more of a connection to turkeys than you've ever had before! Pass it on, I think everyone should see it once! It's not just about turkeys, but about something a lot bigger than that. And it shows a side of the state that few people get to see.

They recently passed a law in Volusia county allowing shooting ranges to serve alcohol. You should be able to meet plenty of turkeys there :]

Just remember to smile when you make a cutting comment, pardner. Booze and live ammo. What could possibly go wrong?

I remember that story and they did not "allow shooting ranges to serve alcohol."
