2010 MHF Spring Turkey Contest Comments & Congratulations Thread

[WhiteTail Madness]

Been keeping an eye out for turkeys while yote hunting the past few days...  LOTS of birds around this year again, im going to start going around and getting permission starting monday.  Gotta renew some farms from last year, and hopefully knock down some new ones.  Have 4 new hunters coming with me this spring, gonna be an interesting year.  I am going to be purchasing a new canon high def cam corder before season gets here so I can put these guys on birds, and also on video! Looking forward to this season, should be lots of fun!

I called this turkey in for this youth hunter last year. he wants to call  one in for me this year he's pretty good, you all may be in trouble.

id have to say i predict a top 5 finish this year..ive expanded my land and love my red dot time shall tell now.goodluck to all.

i say everyone gets a berkley or rapala scale for 2011(28-45 dollars)and maybe as it grows make a youngster division.and if there is only a few youngsters let them play for prizes and make us play for bragging rights.Im not sure a 13 year old has as much “PRIDE”as say 21 and older.just a few thoughts...if they suck forget i said anything.

[Corporal Punishment]

Thats what I will have to do beacuse my fish scale only goes up to 20 pounds and I know my turkey will be well over 20 pounds...

Ive shot a few long beards over the years,but never weighed them!!!!!!Not sure if any went over 20 pounds.....

I got a rapala scale,not sure it goes to 25 pounds though,prolly gotta upgrade it now!!!!!

my cousin saw 4 nice toms struttin at his house yesterday. The warmer weather must have confused them haha. They'll be in trouble in another couple months. Cant wait!

[WhiteTail Madness]

I marinated the breast in italian seasoning last spring and cooked it on the grill,turned out good!!!I feel baking it ya get varied results from bird to bird,some turn out tough....

The legs are real tough as well so I dont even bother with them!!

[WhiteTail Madness]

bring the breast meat in and get em smoked... Smoked turkey breast is AWESOME!

[buckblaster]

Your right there whitetail.We did up a couple birds in the smoker came out great

[bogmanjr]

I like the breast either deep fried or I put it in the crock pot right along with the legs and slow cook it.
