Turkey meat question

[ruination]

Lol. You say 2-4 pounds I say 2 pounds and I'm hunting chickens. 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.

No you said 2-4 it was in your post I quoted lol. You also said you guess?

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.

I've killed 8 gobblers this season I only kept the 2 from Louisiana to eat. I never had any trouble finding someone that will take the meat. Keeps me from having to miss hunting time looking for ice machines etc. The meat is very low on my list of reasons I hunt turkeys. I'd never waste the meat from one but I'm not going to extreme measures to bring 2 pounds of meat home when I can find someone that will use it locally.

Dang, you kill small turkeys

How much does one Turkey breast weigh where you hunt?

One.  Turkey.  Breast.  Like you said turkeys come in different sizes.  It's a joke, not a dick, don't take it so hard.  Lol.

You said 2 lbs when you meant 12.

I said 2 lbs. because that's what it weighed.
As for as di@ks Im sure you know more about them than what a Turkey breast weighs.

For my own years long curiosity, I just weighed a sample "Easy to get to in freezer" of turkey meat from this spring.

2 breast still in a zip lock unfrozen from Maine:
3# 9.2oz.
All others are single breast weights:
1# 13.6oz
2# 1.6oz Biggest I sampled
1# 15.9oz
1# 6.7oz
1# 13.9oz

2 leg/thigh quarters in one bag
3# 2oz

Since these were easy to get to I would assume the samples were from WV, VA, two could have been from a western state.

I can weigh more but don't see the point, have killed hundreds of them and this is the size of the breast. Unless you kill an above average weighted turkey. I have had a few of the party breasts as I like to referred to them as. All turkeys weighed were a minimum of two years old.
