Just filled my two Turkey tags today

[leslie hetrick]

i filled my first tag on tuesday the 5 th and filled my second tag today monday the 18 th, it has been a hard year for most turkey hunters here, cold-wet-windy. remington 870 tactical 12 ga 3" magnum with TSS # 9 shot. the first turkey was shot at 37 yards after calling it in, the second was shot at 48 yards after calling it in.

I filled my two tags from the same tree 17 days and 2 minutes apart. One at 25 yds, the other at 35yds. Hunted 4 mornings over 3 weeks at two different properties. In birds every time. Just lucky as a lot folks had a tough time.

Nice job Gents!

I think if turkey were bigger they would fit in the dangerous game category considering how mean and aggressive they are.

How do you plan to cook them?

 

[Joedad]

I either fry the breast like chicken strips or cut in 3” cubes, marinate in Italian dressing, rap in bacon with a jalapeño and cook indirectly on the grill. Tastes like pork loin. Legs are only fit for soup.

Congratulations to you both. It has been a difficult season in the northeast this year. I got my first on may 3rd but still hunting for 2nd. I find the legs eat pretty well after brining and smoking in my smoker at 200 degrees for about 3 hours with peach chips.

i cook them in a crook pot untill tender and they fry or grill with fixens. if turkeys could smell they would also be a lot harder to kill. their are two kinds of red white and blue i love, one is on the american flag and the second it is on a turkeys head in full strutt.
