Smoked some turkey breasts for the family dinner yesterday . These were all birds that were spring gobblers. I put filleted off half breast pieces in quart freezer bags filled with water being careful to get all possible air out of the bag before freezing. . They will keep for years unless a hole gets in the bag and lets air in.

As fr how to kill a gobbler, Id say these pages in this forum are filled with ideas on how to kill a turkey.

Yes I did. I hunt with a turkey dog in the fall/winter seasons. Patch (the dog) broke up a drove of longbeards and jakes on Wednesday. I then built a blind consisting of limbs and branches and settled in for at least the next 4 hours. After about 2 1/2 hours of calling making gobbler yelps and clucks i noticed a turkey standing about 35 yards out starring right at me (came in silent as they (longbeards) most due in the fall. But I may just not have heard his clucks with my somewhat declined hearing. He must have seen my head movement and was then departing exit stage right. Normally the dog alerts in the blind with me when a turkey is coming in, but looking down on her she was fast asleep laying on her wool blanket and covered by her wool blanket.
But thanksgiving there was a gobbler I took back in the October season in the deep fryer on Thursday.
