General Forum / Re: Turkey meat questionLast post by lalongbeard75 - Today at 07:32:23 PMQuote from: ruination on Today at 07:03:23 PMNo you said 2-4 it was in your post I quoted lol. You also said you guess?Quote from: lalongbeard75 on Today at 02:24:11 PMLol. You say 2-4 pounds I say 2 pounds and I'm hunting chickens. You must be a Yankee? The first gobbler I killed in La for example was quite a bit bigger than the second that was a 2 year old. I ended up weighing the Turkey Breast from this bird on a food scale so I'd know how much seasoning to add for a new recipe I had. 2 lbs thats what the weight was. This was from a deep swamp public land gobbler that has probably never seen a piece of corn. Crop field birds killed by guys in pop up blinds and a flock of decoys probably do weigh quite a bit more. Really matters not to my point. Unless it's the last day of my season and I'm headed home I'm not wallering 2 pounds or 10 pounds of Turkey breast and chasing down ice everyday when I can give the meat to someone who appreciates it. In my travels there is never a shortage of Turkey hunters I meet who eat tags for supper lol. #4

You must be a Yankee? You said 2 lbs I'm saying 4-8. You asked how much 1 breast weighs. So yes, if you turkey breast weighs a pound each, that's a chicken. But I'm think you just ditch the whole bird at this point. #6

Again, to each their own. This is just my opinion.Quote from: Old Swamper on Today at 04:36:02 PMCould never even fathom the thought of hunting and killing turkeys that were not going to be eaten by myself and family. I am not cool enough to be a traveling turkey hunter, however I do take up to 10 day trips locally. What ever does not get ate in camp comes home. I respect turkeys more than most people I know, and enjoy eating them in many different meals. To me, it would be disrespectful to give a hard earned gobbler away. Unfortunately with most today, numbers and states are more important than respecting the Turkey. This is just my opinion. To each their own. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro #10
