... Karen Davis is not the guest you want at your table.

The president of United Poultry Concerns and a tireless advocate for chickens, turkeys and other farmed fowl,

I'd bet she's OK with abortions though. Get a life, b****!

Normalizing shortages sounds right. My sister bought a turkey last weekend. There were 3 left. This weekend there were no turkeys at the same store. Who knows if they will be in stock over the next few weeks.

Turkey is way over rated. The left over white meat needs to be slathered with Miracle Whip just to make a sandwich edible.

Mayo + your favorite BBQ sauce makes it even better.

“I was thinking of wacking one.”

They are very smart birds in the wild. You might be able to wack one, but I bet the second one will be a lot hard.

[alternatives?]

should have wrote, “a lot harder to wack.”

“Wild” turkeys in my neighborhood are so tame that I can almost run them over with my lawn tractor.
I have gotten within 20 feet when I am on the tractor. On foot within 50 feet.

I think I could probably shoot one very easily with my 16 gauge shotgun or my 22 pump.

I don’t plan to have Karen Davis as a guest at my table. She has gone outside the foul line with this one. All I can say as I flip her the bird is: “I know you hate Thanksgiving because it is a Christian holiday. Go eat caterpillers if you like,but don’t try to tell me what to do.”

Its called Turkey Day....

Many years ago, my grandmother had way too many cats on the farm. You would go over there and they were sitting all along a wooden fence and all over the yard. Her nephew bragged he would weed them down. He came over and shot one on the fence and all the rest scattered. He came over multiple times but was never able to bag another because they recognized him and took off.

FYI, both of these individuals have been dead for several years.

Everyone buy turkey.

These idiots got laws passed to outlaw restaurants from selling four gras. They are insane

Mmm. Fence rabbit.

Goose = Rats with wings.

We are overrun with them here in Milw. County. Everywhere there is a pond, there are way too many geese.

I always thought there should be a way to cull the flock and do a big holiday meal for whoever was game (pun intended ; )

[mylife]

And I loved that goose liver pate!

We still have Braunschweiger

No thx, I’m having Turkey, maybe 2.

[BipolarBob]

Never had a real wild turkey. rarely see them because of coyotes, hawks and bobcats. Try it and report back.

[mylife]

marinate them in cider, stuff em with apples and onions.. delicious

I use Alton Brown’s Turkey Triangle method which always works out well. Flash the Turkey at 500 for 30 minutes. Then cover the breast with a triangle of foil, reduce temp to 350, and cook til breast temp is 161. That method has always done well on Thanksgiving.

Might go pick up a couple extra turkeys at $0.33/lb later so I’m thinking about trying one in my pellet smoker.
