Speaking of coons and groundhogs

[Inor]

Only good coon is a dead coon!

[shootbrownelk]

Looks like we have a coon problem.

It sounds like Chicago has a coon problem too, according to the latest shooting reports.

We cleaned 4 early Toms about a week and a half ago. A friend was telling us how great young Toms are. I have to say, so far I'm not impressed. They are very dry.

We did just skin them instead of plucking them so that might be part of the problem. But still, I think they just do not have enough fat on them yet. Fortunately, we still have a bunch more to do in November. Hopefully those will be better.

Velvet coming off the horns

[~MG~]

The heads you buried, the one with the darker horns, was it still in velvet? Is that why the different color maybe? Or Is it an age/sex thing?

[Hawg]

Those were RubberDucks bucks he did not protect the horns he buried them. I wrapped mine in plastic wrap and tin foil. So his picked up the tannins from the dirt and leaves.

We pluck the wild Turkey. And then put them in a oven bag too cook. Butter rubbed under the skin to keep them moist.

[Inor]

That is probably what we should have done. But oh well... Live and learn.

[shootbrownelk]

Skin 'em and wrap in smoked bacon strips. That makes 'em tasty and moist .
