Great tale of the hunt! Congrats on a sweet crossbow turkey. :)

Yep. :wink: :D The boy has been wanting to go down to "Nanna's" (the mother-in-law) for a while, so the wife and boy are going down there for Thanksgiving while I stay home and dog sit. :wink:

Bass Pro Shop is having a sale on their propane smokers starting tomorrow (Wednesday), so I figured I'd go over and pick one up. The charcoal smoker is good, but with a gas smoker I can control things a little better. :wink: Figured I'd smoke up a turkey leg, thigh, and half of the breast, with all of it having a little bit of thick-cut peppered bacon on it to keep it moist. :D

A buddy of mine sent me an email and said that he had finally gotten a delivery of some good home-made moonshine, so I called him tonight and told him that I would bring him some smoked turkey breast up when I came up this weekend to pick some of it up. :wink: :mrgreen:

Figure between the new smoker, the turkey, the deer in the freezer, and the moonshine (and of course the wife being gone.....), It's going to be a good week/weekend Tater! :wink: :lol: :D :mrgreen:

Great story - like something from a hunting magazine. Thank You for sharing the experience with us and beautiful turkey. Now the fun of plucking. :lol: All the best.

Thanks guys! :D

As for plucking..... :roll: Not gonna happen. Anymore, I skin them like you do a deer. It's a whole lot "cleaner", gives you access to all of the meat, and you don't have feathers flying everywhere. :wink: Once you get the cuts started around the legs, the skin peels right off all the way down. :D
