Omm nom nom.................Having never hunted turkey, (it was not allowed in my county until about two years ago) I don't even know what I would do with one if had a successful hunt. Do most turkey hunters eat them? Have it mounted?
I'm clueless.

@ JohnA, you got wolves there? I did not know we had wolves this far south.
Do you mind posting a pic of one of your shotshell trophies? I'd love to see one.@ Nitesite. I used to pluck the whole bird and deep fry it. However, I stopped doing that cause a mature Tom around here is typically 22 lbs and up. They don't fit in a 30 quart fryer very well. Now I just breast them out and save the beard and spurs.
For the trophy I cut the plastic off the shell I shot the bird with and knock out the primer. Then I tie a little loop of paracord and run that through the spurs and then through the primer hole. Then I epoxy the beard up in the brass part of the shell and label the shell with the year. Nice compact little package. I stopped saving the fans cause they take up so much room.
