How Ya Gonna Prepare That Spring Turkey?
Early replied to Cabin Fever's topic in Game Recipes / Cooking
Being old and technologically-callenged, I cannot do pics. This is easy to do. About the only "trick" is to wrap bacon over the ends before roll-wrapping the whole "logs". My bacon usually sticks well...no tooth picks needed. Give it a try...You will like it. (Your first rollup will be somewhat of an experiment. By the second, you will be a pro.) -

Cut breast cutlets 1/2" thick...pound to 1/4". Brown a pound of venison burger and simmmer with packaged taco seasoning and a teaspoon of liquid smoke. Cover the thin breast cutlets with a layer of the taco meat and a layer of shredded taco cheese. Roll 'em up...wrap with bacon...and stick 'em in a 350 degree oven until the bacon is crisp. You will be in for a treat! -
Turkey drumming in no way resembles woodpecker pecking. Phonetically, the spit and drum might look like...."Spttt...Rrrrrrrrumm!" Sounds much more like a muffled engine revving than a woodpecker. Grouse drumming, common this time of year, would be...."Wump....Wump...Wump..Wump..Wump, Wump, Wump, Wumprrhhh!"

Make those nuggets out of the thigh meat. Save the breast meat for something more special. -
Yup...That's what Mom's are for....ever to the rescue! Well done, Mom!

Wow....No need to wonder where all the Zombie stuff came from!

Oh man, roosting a turkey is neither art nor science. You simply get near a suspected roost area...make a loud noise to elicit a shock gobble, and if one gobbles, you know where he is...and where you can find him in the morning. Let's not make this something it is not!
-
Locate a water source on the property. Locate a roost, if you can, by howling or hooting just before full dark. Set up between roost and water. Good Luck, Early

I, too, like liver for bullhead bait...any kind of liver. For clean easy-to-handle bait, just cut some "crawlers" from the liver and then roll them in corn meal and throw them in a ziploc baggie...add a little more cornmeal and head for your favorite fishing hole. Cornmeal keeps the bait pleasant to handle and adds a little chumming action to your setup. For preparing those bullheads for the table, we gave up gutting/skinning years ago. We now fillet with an electric knife...skinless,boneless fillets...ready for the pan in a jiffy.

Yep...50 yards is too far, but that is just my opinion.
-
I might like it a little denser, but it sure is a turkey-killer.
-
Get a new key to use for hunting: Ace hardware now duplicates keys with chips in them. Of course you will be forced to manually unlock the doors with that new key...no big problem.
-
Birchwood Casey makes a flat black marker that will work...Just de-grease the bolt before using the marker
-
A coyote howler, played poorly...so poorly that it would run a real coyote off in the opposite direction...will still make a turkey gobble...............sometimes!
-
Sorry....can't agree with you. For me, turkey hunting is a traditional sport...part of our sporting heritage. Red dot sights just don't fit!
-
If you really want to locate them, use a coyote howler...after sunset, just before full dark. Many on the roost cannot refuse to gobble back at that.
-
Why "easy to miss if you are using a bead"??? It is always easy to miss, regardless of sights used. If you miss...whether with rifle sights...red dot...bead...whatever, you probably did something wrong...something that no sight could have prevented. Turkeys were shot for years, with bead sights...plain old lead ammo...with no decoys or blinds. Hmmmm....I wonder how???
-
Two of you stated, "My gun shoots way too tight of a pattern....." Can one of you define that more precisely? What is a "way too tight" pattern at, say, 25 yds.?
-
We used fibre optic sights that clamp on the rib for years and liked them. However, it got to be a real pain taking them off for hunting other game...then back on for turkeys. All the guys I hunt with have gone back to plain old bead sights...some two; most just a single bead. No misses so far...even with a couple of shots from the wrong side.
-
growalot...Couldn't agree with you more on hunting the hens and does: Where they are is where the toms and the bucks want to be. (I chuckle when I hear a deer hunter say, "I'm not hunting that are any more...only does and fawns there!" Hmmm...makes you wonder.)
-
I have spent countless hours observing turkey behavior as they leave the roost. Generally, their first move is toward water; tom's first move will be toward hens, who are moving toward water. I have NEVER witnessed turkeys leaving the roost and going straight to a dusting site. My impression is that once the needs for water...food...and sex have been met, turkeys will dust whenever their travels take them to exposed dirt. Now, have I ever hunted over a dusting site? Yep, when all else failed. Score? Nope!
