2016 Turkey Hunting Thread

outrider58 · Apr 30, 2016

No luck here either. Had a lot of gobblers at first light but they shut up as soon as they flew down(as expected). The farm I hunted today has tons of turkey on it...tons of very educated turkey I should have said. I have never killed a tom on this farm, though once I passed up on a jake I called in. I may try again next week if the weather ever improves.

I watched an episode of Meateater where he deep fried a couple of turkey breasts and prepared them German Shnictzle-style (SP?).

You guys ever try that?

That's a good idea Striper. I loves me some schnitzel. :drool:

A dove hunter buys three or four boxes of shells and that will keep him for the morning. A turkey hunter buys one box of shells and passes the remainder on in his will.

So true. I bought two boxes(10 rnds) six or seven years ago. I'm half way through them.

Some guy's friend, yesterday, got shot in the face and chest {I don't know what state}. They say he is going to recover. {Information received from a member who posted a thread over at OldGobbler forum yesterday. He was walking out of the woods on private land --- And one person, in a group of three...shot him at 30 yards.

I did. Unfortunately, in New Hampshire that means I am finished until the fall. New Hampshire only allows one turkey in the spring, and one turkey in the fall.

Congrats Benl on your first Bird. That's a nice one. Now to cook them up. Here's one of the breast off of my bird.

xtreme43s10 · May 29, 2016

Here's the other breast off my bird. I made Turkey Francese with a lemon caper sauce, Scalloped potatoes and a Pinot Grigio from a clients vineyard in St. Michaels seemed only fitting.

My son got this nice one in Michigan. Just over 25#, 1 3/8 spurs.
