Fall turkey season opening a couple days ago. So while running my hobby trap line I am keeping a eye out for thanksgiving dinner. Rolled into one of the farms I trap and there’s a flock of the tasty morsels scratching around in one of the fields. Now the purists will shudder but I drove up got out and dropped a young hen! Lol

A hen turkey is a much better bird to eat as compared to a tom. Well done.

At the end of the day, purists gotta eat too. Sometimes wild turkeys are so long/big, compared to domestics that they don't fit well in the roasting pan so.. Ya cut the legs off and turn them around and stick'em under the bird. Oh, we ALWAYS use a roasting bag.

Years ago, who would have thought the wild turkey could survive in the North Country? Even so, “survival” can be relative. Some biologists say winter morality reached 70% last year.

By Feb. or March these Idaho Turkeys can look like Canary's but a lot of them make it.

It was a jake shot out of the air about 35 yards away with a jrh built bisly in 41 mag with a 210 swift aframe about 1530 fps. Shot just above the top of the thigh beneath the spine. Huge cavitation 2” entrance and a 4” exit but didnt destroy hardly any meat.
