  • Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
  • Turkey season started out slow with bad weather and the birds not cooperating I had to get back out there. I headed to the ranch to self film a turkey hunt. the morning started off a little slow after making multiple calls and not getting any calls back. After the third or fourth spot I called at I had two jakes gobble back. I got my decoys into place and no less than three minutes they were right on top of me. I have been wanting to make some turkey jerky so I decided to take one. The particular turkey I got had some sort of previous wound. I have never seen this before but it appeared to be from last turkey season. I was shocked that he was still able to let a gobble out. I ended up smoking the turkey legs on my Traeger grill and they turned out fantastic. I hope you are all getting out there and enjoying the outdoors on this Easter Sunday. Stay safe and godbless!

    You can't go wrong with the recipe that has a good amount of Critter glitter in it. Happy Easter Mullet Man and family! Hope y'all are being safe especially with a little one on the way. My family and I just love to watch your Channel. Please keep the hunting, gardening, and taking care of chicks and chickens videos coming. With love from Michigan!

    I've never smoked them, but I've used a bake bag, and fried them. Both methods I inject them, and rub them with the remaining marinade. Let it sit for 2 days, and then cook. Fried to me is better, and pretty good. Baked is slightly tougher. A young jake is the best. Congrats!

    Brining wild turkey for 12 hours is the best way to keep them juicy. I brine them overnight, and coat them in honey before smoking on a very low heat for 3 hours then cranking up the heat until the internal temperature reaches 165!

    You did awesome job filming it, when it comes to Turkeys you can't worry about trying get every film footage, they hear anything they are gone, in my smoker I use a small pan of water or Apple juice, really makes the meat moist! Have a wonderful Easter! God bless👍

    Hey man. I know you have talked about Base Maps alot and I downloaded it recently. Yesterday I went turkey hunting on opening day here in NC to a new piece of land I just got permission on and I got turned around pretty bad chasing a turkey. I had to use Base Maps to get me back and if I didn't have it I would have been in trouble. Thanks for recommending for all of us to check out!

    Here is a tip for turkey leg's and thigh's. I use a low pressure chicken fryer and pressure cook them in water till they fall off the bone. Then take the meat and chop the meat up small and add mayo and liquid smoke. Very delish. Everyone that has tried it was amazed how good it tasted. make sandwiches or just eat on crackers. Add anything you desire to it such as onion or celery for example. I like it just plain.

    I know that this isn’t for turkey but when ever you do ribs on the smoker spray some apple cider vinegar on it about every 45 minutes. Me and my dad do this when we cook ribs and brisket. It is really good it gives it a lot of flavor

  • @suthernsavage5643

  • @ashton6039
    @ashton6039 4 роки тому +2

    What we usually do is put the legs and thighs in a big crockpot with Spanish rice add some water and sauce if your choice and let it cook on some low for 8 hours and the meat will fall off the bone by itself

  • @tomszafran7882
    @tomszafran7882 4 роки тому +1

    Try brining your turkey next time to give it more moisture. Fully immerse the turkey for 1-3 days before smoking it, that's what Steve Rinella recommends. Happy Easter!

    I coat the legs in salt, pepper and olive oil then brown both sides in a skillet. Then braise them in a pot for about 5 hours with crushed tomatoes, onions, carrots, fennel, sage, salt, pepper, chicken stock and red wine. It is very tender and delicious similar to pulled pork

    @sonofeloah 4 роки тому +14

    Either he got something sharp in his crop and it punched a hole that never healed or someone's shot tore a hole in the crop. Either way, he could not digest his food properly. So, you have actually done him and the rest out there a service as he would be getting sick and possibly spread diseases among the turkeys in that area.

    Hey mullet- love the channel, been following for a while now. Suggestion: instead of marinating, try injecting your turkey. Imparts way more flavor, and you can cook them on the same day you shot em. Additionally, clean your traeger before it burns your house down. I hate those things. Oh yeah, put some smoke on them legs, with a weber grill indirect heat, then use the Texas microwave(tin foewl) let them cook in their own juices instead turning them into baseball gloves.

    My guess would be that an eagle grabbed him or maybe a fox or bobcat and he got away with a torn up crop. I've seen it a few times with my chickens when they've been grabbed by an owl at night and dropped. I've sewed them up and they've recovered just fine.

    I've cooked a lot of turkey legs and pork chops which also dry out easy, what works best is to do a simple brine for at least 5 hours and up to a day. It's almost impossible to then make them dry, no spray or injection needed

  • @jessanddavidboham8014
    @jessanddavidboham8014 5 місяців тому

    I would definitely say turn the heat down a little bit also inject them and also spray the turkey legs as well and that will be wonderful but when you do lower heat maybe 50° lower at 2:50 but you may have to cook them a little bit longer who knows but just try it out and find out.

  • @westslopeoutdoors
