Was going to get one from Bro-In-Law. He doesn't shoot em but he raises them over the course of a year and then snaps their necks

ya know, I want to kill a wild one some year too... but some non-hunting types I talk to say that wild turkey is terrible and that the kind you get in stores is so much better. Is this true guys?
I mean, I know you have to brine it and all that. But how could a store-bought hormone injected turkey be better than a free-wheelin' happy-go-luckey wild turkey?

Hmmm... I've taken a few with bow and truth be told, for all the effort you go through to harvest and prepare them, yer better off going to the store.

For me, turkey hunting is like surfcasting for false albacore - it's there for the challenge of the hunt more than anything else. Nobody I know eats cooked false albacore with gusto (although I have to admit it's darn good raw).

Most of the wild turkeys around here feed on things like bugs and things like that, so, I dunno.
