My son got this bird this morning about 8:45. It was a jake. Not his first turkey, but it is his first one with a m/l.

PATrapper,
Awsome job man!Nice turkey and really nice bess....you should be proud!I just wish we had turkeys here.Have you eat him yet?How did ya cook it? :hatsoff:

 

[DJ33]

turkey noodle soup out of the thighs,legs,&back. the breast gets cut up & marinated over night in itailan dressing & grilled over a hardwood fire. great smokey flaver over the fire.

Mmmmm sounds tasty.
When you eat what you kill you are really gettin the best out of the hunt.My opinion. :v

 

[snagg]

I can personnally attest to how good it was. He brought mom and dad over some pieces of the breast, and it was the best wild turkey I had in a long long time. Good son there. :grin:
