Lol. Nice birdIncognito like goose!
Yes, I'm going to bow hunt turkey this fall.Turkey hunting in fall can be difficult. Spring is easier.Anyone fall hunting? I've killed a few in the fall. It can be fun. Our Archery season starts Oct. 1st. I've drug out some bows and am trying the Trad thing again, but the only one I can shoot for long without shoulder pain, I'm only pulling about 37 lbs. Not sure if that will be enough?
Total bs.Turkey is really good.Chunk them in 2 inch chunks. Cook on the smoker & use for dog treats when hunting. Goose breast works this way also. High protein snacks for the pup in the field
String bean?You forgot to mention the age factor,Ha!
I read somewhere that the greatest threat to our health is age, hands down. Couldn't tell since I'm a spry 75 yr. spring chicken, weighing in at 128lbs at 5' 10".
Beautiful birds.I kind of feel guilty about slaying them.I thought it was a Merriams turkey too. Fantastic white rings on the fan.
Yes, wild turkey is very good eating. I've gotten very good at cooking it.I'm late to the party here but for those discussing Easterns in MT, there are Easterns in the Flathead. They were illegally transplanted there years ago by a private party. FWP will tell you the same. I've seen several around Kalispell that were clearly Eastern. I've also seen birds that are Merriam's in the surrounding mountains, including near Polson. Considering this, there has to be some hybrids in that region also.
Also, if you're unable to cook wild turkey and make it edible, you're doing something wrong. In fact, wildly wrong.
