I'm sorry that you guys don't know how to cook a wild turkey....
Same thing was said about a bat in Wuhan.
Anytime you have to beat the meat as for schnitzel, or marinade something for 7 weeks to make it edible I question the taste. I myself can salt and pepper a deer,elk,bear,cougar,grouse,pheasant,hun,etc. And it is good. Turkey,goose,duck not so much. To say they are excellent or to say we are not cooking them right is laughable.

And I know that campers and trailers drop in value faster than fresh fish, but that trailer looks reasonably nice as well. Mainly though, its the wording of the post. Please don’t criticize as this is his right of passage.First off, no one who views a hunt as a right of passage would phrase it like that. If she were a grizzled, 4th generation mountain lady whose ancestor deserted the confederate army and they've been hiding out in those mountains ever since, that kid wouldn't have to do his "right of passage" by himself, wandering into the woods to shoot a random whatever, and he would have likely done it a lot younger than 14. She would know that hunting seasons exist, and she would definitely know not to brag about it on facebook. And if they were "new poor," they would have relocated to the suburbs, not the woods.Who is she worried about being critical? Not other grizzled mountain folk. She posted it on "Off Grid Living For Beginners," which is a facebook group of tiny house eco-hippies. She's worried that the REI set would disapprove of the hunting in general, which is why she used such weird wording like "right of passage." My guess. They decided to bug out to their 90% finished cabin to ride out COVID, and now they are cosplaying mountain men. They are "running low on meat" because they don't yet understand how to buy groceries when their aren't 5 grocery stores within a 10 minute drive.I must have the Kung Flu because I agree with all of this. Someone please take my temperature.

No disrespect meant, I’m just being honest. No I wouldn’t have turned in someone for killing/poaching a turkey. Anyone that knows me knows how much I hate poaching, turkeys are a pest for most people that live in turkey country. I’ve sent people messages before on Facebook that have done illegal crap, I simply told them what law they broke and moved on. Elk, deer, moose or other big game gets poached and I find out, the situation would dictate who I call. BUT, I’d never get on here or any social media to brag about it. That’s really the only thing about this thread that sucks. Either way, I don’t want disrespect nor do I give it in this situation.
Well, hopefully he only gets a slap on the wrist but hopefully it scares him a bit.
