I love the sound of shotguns in the morning.
It's a little late to be shopping for Thanksgiving dinner though. Sounds like we have more than a few procrastinaters out there today.

I've eaten wild turkey just once. God awful stuff.

I think these guys are eating geese, which may be worse. I don't know.
I hope they aren't shooting turkey. We don't have a lot of them in this area, and I love seeing them waddle through the fields.-

It probably depends a lot on what they are eating.
You're in TN, right? They are probably eating a lot of good grass and bugs out that way. -

Market goose and wild goose are different creatures. In the event of a global crisis..

True story. My wife, being the veterinarian that she is...
fredyo 12582 posts...is driving down the road with me and suddenly screeches the brakes. There is a snapping turtle crossing the road in our lane just waiting to be run over, apparently.
My wife puts the car in park, jumps out and grabs him/her by the carapace. They have very long necks and he tried to bite her.
Being a vet, she knew better than to grab it in the "landing zone".
She carried it back to the pond and let it go.
There were 5 cars stacked up behind us. I pulled out my crowbar from the trunk and kindly explained the circumstances to each of them.
Coincidently, I didn't receive any ill will.

My Father refers to her as Saint Janet for putting up with me.

I did the same thing a few months ago
Mind you, I dont have the knowledge that you wife has, so I was simply lucky to have grabbed it in the right spot.
As I was carrying it back to the side of the road, and as it was suspended by its shell, it bucked hard. I wasn't expecting it -- and I'm still not quite sure how it did it -- but it bucked hard enough to elevate my arms a few inches more into the air and almost cause me to drop it.
After I set him down, he stretched out his legs and neck as far as they could go, then opened his beak up wide, giving me the nastiest "go fuck yourself" look that I've ever seen.
Needless to say, that ingrate better hope I don't have a crowbar on me the next time I see him.

Wild goose may be just as awful. In Western NY we have an abundance of both.

I recently purchased 1/2 a steer. My grill is still warm.

I wonder what feral hogs taste like.
I spend a lot of time thinking about moving to Texas or Arkansas and making a living trying to cull those suckers.-
Level 5
I'm told by hog hunters that the big ones are inedible
Gamey as hell.
Only the young ones are keepers.

A friend of mine dropped one and had sausage made from it. Threw it on the smoker and it
Was really good. He said he had like a 100 more pounds of it so I got that going for me.I hold the record for most deleted posts. +139. Must protect the Helpers! -

I had wild boar osso bucco once at a french joint, it was awesome.
Doubtful it was a feral hog though.-
Level 6
Osso Bucco is one of my favs, I serve it with orecchiette pasta and demi glace.
