In turkey hunting (by myself as Noel had to work) this morning. Got to our blind at 6:30 am and made a few calls and at 7:30 2 toms came and strutted for our decoys. It took 3 shots but I got one of them. There were 2 other hunters calling turkeys across the brook - not sure if my calls or their calls worked but the birds were on my side of the brook and I manage to get one. I stopped in on my way home to show the grandkids. After I got home and had breakfast I checked around to see if anyone around here cleaned wild turkeys but couldn't find anyone. I decided to do it myself so I placed the turkey in a tub of hot water for a few minutes (suppose to make them easier to pluck) and then hung it in my shed. It wasn't hard to pluck and came nice and clean. After plucking I gutted it and then Ruby washed it and placed it in a tub of marinated water for 4 hours. After that she took it out and we are planning on having it for supper tomorrow night. Can't wait to see how it tastes although Ruby is a bit apprehensive. After I finished with the turkey I cleaned and put away my hunting gear. Then I went down to the end of the park and got Adrian's trailer and me and Vic took the limbs I had cut of our trees on Friday to the pile at the end of the park. Relaxing after that and watching some hockey now.
Got me turkey
