Looks to me like Kurtis is happy, but I am not so sure about Kara. I think her expression is more like "I can't believe I am standing here holding a dead turkey!" :biggrin:

Thats pretty much how it was but she stood there and held it by the legs the whole time I skinned it and when we brought it in the house she was right at the sink to finish cleaning and getting it ready for the freezer :yoyo:

I think you are right about that :laf: I think if your gonna catch a DISEASE that is a good one to catch :laf:

I did miss one Saturday afternoon at 25 yards :nono: and passed on one while deer hunting at 15 yards because I didn't know season had started :doh2: until I came back to the house and checked the laws

Now that would have been a great first

Barry Our Thanksgiving is the end of Nov

Good job on the first Ground Buzzard. :yoyo: Couple of quick questions. Do they always dress like that to go hunting? :confused: And now that you have cleaned it, will you ever risk having to clean another one? :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:

I can't handle that smell. I could live with a skunk easier.

Kara was a bit reluctant at first but she did stay right with it the rest of the time I give her credit for that
