Opening day of Turkey....

My wife and my cousin doubled up on a pair of fighting toms.
21.5lbs - 1 1/8th" spurs - 9.5" beard.

I was carrying my blind to the back field to setup for tomorrow morning....Left my gun in the car.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Very nice! Tell them congrats. Hopefully you'll have your opportunity tomorrow.

ok dumb question... but we don't have wild turkey in alaska, how is the meat. I have meat chickens and hens that we cull now and then and its way different then the stuff you buy over the counter ( way better ). that being said if I had to figure out how much I spent on salmon, moose and caribou i'd probably never go... but there is nothing like drinking a beer from gods refrigerator ( glacial stream ) looking at a view few others will see while not seeing another person ( or lights ) any where. that being said I have had many a hunt that was a long walk in the woods with a gun ( and nothing to show for it, but that’s half the fun )

meat is excellent
I usually deep fry the wild ones
breasts are about it legs are tough from running and hanging on @ night

Nice birds! Turkey season is over here in the deep south. Turkeys are impressive birds when they are trying convince the girls they are the one.

Pat them on them back for me! ok dumb question... but we don't have wild turkey in alaska, how is the meat. It's very good. The breast is a little darker, and much more moist than that of a store-bought bird. I smoked the breast of the Tom I shot a few weeks ago and sliced it for sandwiches. Today I finished it off at lunch. Mmm.....so good!
