Thank you. Funny story…so there were two gentlemen watching me stalk the turkeys. They started slate calling them to help me out. Bless them lol. I had to stalk behind them up a steep hill. The adrenaline rush was insane!
Yeah I did miss twice from about 75 yards out lol. They move around A LOT. Had to close the distance for an easier shot. Then again, my rifle wasn’t tuned. I arrived at 6:30 a.m. and had to do a 20 minute quick tune with the Javelins. I managed a 0.8 inch group at 40 yards and called it a tune (not really the best). I didn’t have the time or the place to set up my target to get that half an inch 5 shot group at 50 yards.
I would love to hear your recipe for cooking wild turkey. I’ve only had it once before, and the woman that did it put it in a pressure cooker and it came out like shoe leatherIn the freezer right now
It‘s by Lake Berryessa on Pope canyon rd. She’d have to drive up about 2 and half hours up north.
Garlic and melted butter injected into the breast in about 6-8 places. Cover breast with thick sliced bacon strips pinned down with toothpicks.
I’ve had really good luck cooking turkeys in the pressure cooker. I’ve done the breast and legs and they turn out good. The legs you cook til they are ready to shred off the bone and make excellent tacos and enchilada. The breasts I cook whole and slice. Lots of good recipes out there.
