3 Birds Down ...1 dANDY ...THANKS TO Jason Phelps !!!!!!!

In our camp...we gut them entirely and remove crop (crop can taint breast meat)..then pack cavity with ice in sanwich baggies.  We keep them in shade or in cooler. Never had a bad tasting turkey.

Thats how I do it too ...we gut them out and remove crop and pack the chest cavity full of ICE and hang them from a limb in the shade in camp ... just keep adding ice as it starts to melt ...feathers are like insulation and once you get them cooled they will stay cool as long as you keep them packed in ice ...when you go to breast them the meat will be ice cold ...just wait until I pull them from my smoker

Nice birds! Curious though do you throw em whole on ice so you can get group pics and not worry about the meat? We've always been skeptical and process them right away. It would be cool to get a group shot at the end of our trip with all our birds though.
