There's a season here in ID too but never participate, wild turkey meat is not that great!! (grin)

I have not hunted them yet but spend a lot of time chasing them out of the yard. I understand that smoked wild turkey is pretty good.

wild turkey is a wild contrast.

the breast meat is delicious!! i have stir fried it..yum. i have breaded it and fried it like a chicken finger..yumx2!!

the rest of the bird is just about inedible. tough, very tough. i usually do a quick skin job and cook it down for a stock. but i pull both sides of the breast out for regular cooking.

i almost t-boned a turkey yesterday with my mountain bike..

Probably going out in the morning. The county just opened up some land really close to my house (walking distance) where a bunch of this years poults have been hanging out every morning. Pretty sure we're having wild turkey for thanksgiving.

Also, my wife just finished Hunter Safety last weekend and turkey is the only thing she's really comfortable hunting so far. So hopefully I'll get her on a turkey this year!

Caught this one trespassing on my property yesterday......that sums up my fall turkey hunting plans.

Nice job HQ!

Saw a ton of turkeys while whitetail hunting. Almost made me want to head back there in the spring.
