shepp Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 Nice gobbler!! I was going to go this year but pheasants forever burnt the CRP I was suppose to hunt the day before, and I didn't wanna find another place to hunt. Next year
shepp Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 What species do you have in your neck of the woods? I googled it but I see Idaho has merriams, rio grand and a hybrid
NTXshooter Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 Way to go. Nothing more fun than calling in a nice gobbler!
planeflyer21 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 Beautiful bird Magwa! How much meat did you get?

Idk about out there, but birds here are 20-25# (25# bird is huge). Figure 3-4 # of guts and what not. Lots of guys here just breast them, which is a waste. The legs aren't like your pen raised birds more tendons and what not, but they're good smoked or used for stock.
Magwa Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Posted May 4, 2016 thanks guys this bird is a Hybrid and he weighted right at 20 lbs probably got 8 or 9 lbs breast meat and another 4 or 5 lbs in the thighs and legs which are just for the crock pot I shot him at 30 yards I don't wait he went into full strut and I said now is right time and he never moved after I pulled the trigger 12 gauge 3 inch mag 5 and 6 shot mixed load through a super turkey choke 12 gauge browning pump.

I once worked on a wild game ranch in Texas for 3 years of high school. We had turkey feeders to keep them plump and would harvest 15-20 Toms each year for our various parties. @planeflyer21, I was thinking the guy in the video was going to take the bird barehanded at first. That would be a sight.
