Congrats on the gobbler...I usually just skin mine. Much faster than plucking feathers.

Take that sucker to a gas station that has air, cut a small slit, insert the air hose and then blow it up. Makes a giant Turkey balloon that is easy to skin. Beats the heck out of plucking it!

What the what??? I need to see video of that!

Plucking was a pain but also a good reason to drink beer in the garage for a nice long while... cheers

It's funny but true. The guy that taught me how to turkey hunt showed me this trick. You do get some strange looks though so find a station that is not too busy grin

That's a good idea. I can't believe I haven't thought of that.
