For turkey hunting this is what you need on your shafts, Zwickey grapplers. Grappler slides down shaft, stops pass thrus so turkeys dont fly away.

To learn from your mistakes, first you must realize you made a mistake.

Had the same problem tonite with a deer. Kid on the 4 wheeler was no neighbor but the result was the same.  :(
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

You can ask for anything more then that.

I know for a fact that when an ATV is ridden  like the driver has sence they they do not scare the anamals too much.
I have almost been run over two diffrent times by deer while on an ATV. I normaly drive at a steddy slow pace when they see me they just watch as I go past just like I was a car. Now on the other hand I ahve seen deer and other animals take off running when a kid comes flying past like he is on fire. Just tonight I drove itm up to about 30 yeard to a deer that was in a field and watched it for 10 minutes and it didnt pay ne no mind
