Mr. M and I have a small farm and one night we slept out in the pond house (tight fit) and listened to the turkeys, the coyotes, and the cattle talk to each other as we fell asleep. Good times.

In east tennessee, 18 wheelers are turkey predators

They don’t fly high enough to get out of the way

how do you prepare your turk?

the ones we have cooked, and we have tried everything, frankly last like an old boot. tried deep frying, roasting, breasting, etc etc.

even took one with black powder 10g, you know, just to get that authentic flavor. no joy.

gimme a butterball anyday. flame on !!

A convection oven. Great for wild turk, duck [especially] and goose.

“Turkey populations in Wisconsin have boomed in the last 15 years.”

I can testify! They are freakin’ EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK these days. And they’re big. And mean. And aggressive as heck!

Shoot at will! :)

A friends 10 year old daughter got one during our Spring Youth Hunt. She was proud-to-bursting, though he was a little bit smaller than, ‘Tomzilla’ who was hanging out with the one she got, LOL!

Little girls who hunt will have NO problems making it through life. :)

Whip o wills declining too. Lots of nest predators to blame egg consumption on, not sure I’d blame it on turkeys.

“When they pass close by you in flight, they make an impression!”

Flying bowling balls, low trajectory. On the rare occasion you break one in the woods close by, it's scary.

I am already on you ping list, if not please add me.
Your articles have been great, and of great interest to an old retired Marine, hunter, fisherman, farmer, and outdoorsman like me.
