Title: Gizzard stones
Post by: LDennis24 on March 10, 2025, 08:25:10 AM: Have any of you turkey hunters took the time to check out the gizzard stones in any of the birds you have gotten? I saw this cool clip on Tiktok of different gizzard stones this guy has collected. They are pretty unique between each bird.

I would have tossed that bird. Easy way to get lead poisoning.
