Would you eat the breast of this bird?

Yeah, I hate to waste a tag on it. I wonder if they'll replenish one. I called the GW and he told me to call the wildlife biologist tomorrow. So I'll do that. Anybody know if they replenish tags for things like this or did I take one for the team?  I'll eat the tag without complaint. It was one of my favorite all time turkey hunts. Two boss gobblers gibbling like crazy on a PM hunt.
I disagree with you about wasting a tag...

you're right, "waste" was a poor choice of words.  I'm not saying I'd prefer to shoot a bird that I couldn't eat, but there was nothing about that hunt, or use of a tag, that was a waste.

Believe I would pass on that.  Just don't throw those tasty legs away!

Maybe I am not seeing what I think I am seeing, but I believe this wound is down near the intestines, not up near the breast.  Closer to the legs than the breast.  Is that right or did I take too  much cough syrup this morning?

Yes, it was down into the side of the abdominal cavity

To quote the wildlife biologist, "studies have shown that it should be fine, but I personally wouldn't eat it."
