Turkey hunting and BS welcome!

Yea, I’m pretty lucky here . I also have permission to hunt 120 acres of woods directly behind my back yard .

 

Nice bird!

Depending if its old or young I cut the breast into 1" squares and hit with the meat mallet to tenderize if old, other wise I just bread in seasoned flour and eggwash and deep fry into turkey nuggets

 

only way to cook it IMO

 

Hen to the right of pole outside my kitchen .

 

So all the Toms I’ve been seeing everyday across the road have disappeared. Must be searching out more hens I assume .

 

I've cooked turkey every way imaginable. The only way I do it now is similar to the above.

Cut breast meat into about 1" chunks
Put in a bowl and shake in Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. (when you think you got enough...put a little more)
Knead into meat with hands. (Should be fairly well coated)
Set bowl in fridge for a while to let seasoning set in.
Flour and deep fry @350 for 4 minutes.

Best way I have found to have wild turkey. It never disappoints.

 

I've had a terrible season. I normally tag out but not this year. I've only called 1 gobbler I'm and he circled around and came in directly behind me. No shot at all. Then Wednesday of this week I got on 1 and he must have been with a hen because a Jake came in. I didn't shoot him, saving him for next yr.

 

Still got tomorrow for a last shot at redemption

 

Got 3 more weeks here . But it will be real green and buggy and muggy in the woods. Already bug city .

 

yep. basically the same...3-4minutes in the fryer and I hit it with a little salt on the exit of the fry. Choose your favorite dipping sauce and you are GTG! I like bbq and ranch, separate of course.

 

A bit windy but going out this morning!

 

Good luck
I’m on my way out the door too lol

 

Got in on one on the roost . Gobbled about 6 times . Thought I heard him fly down ( very windy ) thought I heard a gobble ( too windy ) waited until 10 minutes ago and that is all my ass could take . Never heard another thing ,way too windy . No birds in fields on the way back down the road either . Might head back out mid morning.

 

Really dark and overcast plus 20 mph wind . Not a good day

 

We heard one a couple ridges over lol. Never got him to budge

 

Went back out from 830 - 1130 . Never heard a bird

 

that stinks! Thats why I have more luck in the fall...I usually just cross paths..

 

Don’t know what’s up ! No more birds in the fields . Did see a lone hen in a field the other day .

 

I may be wrong but they hens are prob on nests right now and the toms are close by...
