Suppressed 22LR or suppressed 9mm?

A gunless buddy in Cal told me about his turkey problem and how when he finally had enough garden vandalism, he shot at one with his childhood BB gun. First shot: right in the eye. Blood squirted, and the turkey fell dead right there. The problem was he couldn’t repeat the shot. The BBs just bounced off. Finally the neighbor called the sheriff and he had to stop shooting them.

.22 to the head if you want to eat it.

Do they taste good? I heard not so much.

I don’t know about suburban trash birds, but wild ones are delicious. The best way I could describe the flavor is “richer” than a regular turkey. But like all turkeys they can be hard to cook and I’ve had some dry wild turkey before, just like I’d put farm raised turkey I’ve eaten at a 3-1 ratio of poorly cooked vs cooked well.

I like fried or stuffed with citrus fruit onions and garlic and roasted or smoked to any other method of cooking.

They are good if you smoke them.

If you cook them like a regular turkey, they are not as good.

However, if you make a big paste of apples, bacon, brown sugar and sea salt and shove that in the bird, then baste the thing in maple syrup, and wrap the whole thing in foil and cook the crap out of it, they come out great.

Of course following that recipe you can make almost anything taste good!

Personally I am a bit fond of grouse too.





I was hunting wolves one day and these dumb things kept making a racket, so they lost their heads and ended up in the dutch oven along with some spuds.

BTW: In my state to be legal it is shot firing shotgun or bow. Otherwise my suppressed .22 and I would go procurin' a lot more often...😥
