Spring Turkey Hunting

In May, during turkey hunting season, Garry had been getting up at 4:30 a.m. to take some friends turkey hunting on some private land owned by his friend, and going out alone to  "play with the turkeys", (his words), calling them and taking photographs.

We always have a supply of wild turkey meat in the freezer.  Here is the recipe we like for turkey gumbo. Turkey Gumbo Recipe.  It's a good way to use up the tough turkey legs.
