Turkey hunters I have a question.

Just breast it. Cut into strips and fry it. Pretty good that way. 8" beard is not bad. Means it's at least a 2 yr old bird most likely. How long were the spurs? That's the best indicator of how good the bird is. And pics are required. Make sure to include a foot or the die hards will bash you.

Congrats to your buddy. I didn't even hear one this am

Spurs = 3/4"

Soak small size pieces of breast in butter milk and louisiana hot sauce over night. Batter with zararains chicken fry. Once taken out of fryer sprinkle with some lemon pepper

2 yr old, young bird. I'd shoot the shite out of it
