Turkey down, now what?

Right the head, feather entrails will be present, but can I put the "eatable" meat in a separate bag?
Can I have the tag, head, feathers, guts in one bag, and the breast, legs in another bag?

Ok, it has been said several times now.  The feathered head must remain ATTACHED TO CARCASS while in field or transport.  It really isn't that hard to understand.  Gut the bird in the field, hell even skin or pluck it in the field, but leave the head on.

Here is the exact quote from the regulations, page 88: 

The feathered heads of game birds must be attached to the carcass when they are in your possession in the field or are being transported.

Not to hijack the thread, but more to open a can of worms...
I go to my friends house on the east side to hunt turkeys. I shoot one the first day. I take it to his house, pluck it and gut it, and put it in his freezer so it doesn't spiul, Headless...
I go home with it six days later. How does that play into what the wardens do if they stop me?

Hey Al, missed you this year.  Hope things are going good.

I was project coordinator on an aircraft carrier project from Jan 2015 until May 16th when they flew me to San Diego for another one until Sept 7th.  Just too darn busy at work and home .... however I just put in my retirement papers on Friday with last day set for March 1, 2017.  So we will see you for sure next spring Sneaky ... did you leave me any toms?
