Would trade for a Roger parks gobbler pot call or a soft talker slate pot call.

I haven't seen anyone on either thread say they only keep the Turkey breast?

If you get upset at me giving a few turkeys away you'd have a conniption fit if you knew how many deer I gave away last bow season lol.
Some people don't hunt, some people that do hunt are really bad at it. Those people still eat and appreciate the meat.

I've never given anything to an anti hunter but giving meat to non hunters doesn't hurt our cause either.

You can boil down the carcass you can make a pillow out of the feathers you can make toothpaste out of the Turkey guts if you want to. None of that makes your opinion anything but just that.
Since we are spreading out opinions around how many of you holier than thou use decoys pop up blinds or some other way to negate the turkeys natural defenses?

I know a guy that hunts with nothing but a longbow with wood arrows. To him the fact that you wear camo and use a gun disrespects the gobbler, nature, and America lol.

At least one person here says he gives ALL of his turkeys away. Does that mean he shouldn't be allowed to hunt? The man paid the same price for a hunting license as you did. His taxes go to the same place that funds the National Forest we hunt, he put  in the effort to learn the skill to call up the gobbler, who do you think you are to question what he does with the meat?

The whole thing might make sense if someone said they'd shoot them and just throw em in a ditch. But to get yourself all worked up cause they don't eat it themselves or use the Turkeys toe nails as toothpicks is a little ridiculous.

I was on this forum from about 2014 I'm starting to remember why I quit logging in. I see now some of you are still spending more time searching out something to cry about than hunting.

Using any part of a gobbler for coyote bait seems disrespectful to me but that's my opinion.

If you're eating that off a turkey's leg I'd love your spur recipe.

I started the turkey meat thread to find a solution to bring home all my turkey meat on an extremely long road trip covering multiple states very far from home where I know no one.

Chester I don't know you from beans and might ruffle your feathers but was the coyote consumed? Simple question.

Yes, and people hijacked that thread and made some gross comments about having little use for meat. My response to your question on there stands: I suggest traveling with a vacuum sealer and packaging as you go. Much easier to keep cold and safe.

If the day comes we have to start killing turkeys from overpopulation as a means of habitat management I might be willing to let it lay.

Agree wholeheartedly, Chester. I have never understood people who just breast the bird out. That's right up there with just taking the backstraps off of a deer. On my turkeys, the wingbones go to a callmaker, and feathers go to a friend's wife who uses them for crafts. All the meat is eaten, and the carcass is boiled down for bone broth. I really can't understand the killing of wild game without the intent of eating it either. I would have to really like someone to give them a turkey.

I don't know if it is the same in all states, but here in NY they are treated as migratory birds and have an odd season in which you are aloud to hunt them.
