Thread: First Turkey Caught

We followed the "Only months without an R" thing, but were told it was because of taste and condition. We did do a few in December, can't say we noticed a difference. The first ones we did were only gutted from the rear, only found the croup full of clover and crickets after cooking
The lice were annoying. I could feel them crawling up my arms while plucking them. An exchange student reckoned he couldn't feel anything but later that night he was scratching his head raw!
They can be tough to kill. I shot one with a Sierra Blitz from the 223, it did a little jump and kept walking up the hill. Gave it another shot, same response. I was about to give it a third when it fell over and rolled down the hill. The innards were a pulverised mess, it just took the turkey a while to realise it was dead.
