What to do with spurs

[Happy]

Never was crazy on spurs myself. Maybe cause I have only killed a few with what I deem to be decent spurs. They don't have many decent pairs running around these mountains.  Beard is more my thing. Course those don't get to long up here either. Winters are pretty rough and they are always freezing up and breaking.

I have a large collection of turkey legs that I use for leverage if my wife wants to bring some hidious floral decorations into the house. 

I just mention that I need to find a place to display my turkey feet.

Freeze before marrow gets a chance to soak into the bone...

Cut while frozen...push marrow out...peel off red skin & tendons...rinse in dish soap...let dry (boric acid doesn't hurt)...clean up with a Dremel drum sander...done....

Zero issues in 25+- years of using this method...

For those of you who prefer the boiling method... Is this an activity that needs to be done outside? I really don't want to stink up the kitchen!

The spurs are my favorite part of the bird so I save all of mine.

Nah, once you cut the spur section away from the rest of the leg there is so little meat there it doesn't stink up at all.  Good luck.

I like how you put them next to each other.  I put them across.  Yours looks better. Plus I ain't got near as many!
