    dude.. get v hot water dunk them in, then pluck the whole turkey. it will come up white and clean. throw it in a roasting bag chuck it in the oven then slow cook it. the best roast turkey ever and great the next day for sammies. kinda seems a waste just to take the breasts.

    Yeah could be. Do you know which sex tastes better? Do you know what sex they were when you got the carcasses?

    Never having tasted male and never going to so to help you out female is the only tasting you should do.. But hey its a free world out there ...
    Not to be taken in months with an R in them apparently (or is that urban myth?) some thing to do with bug consumption or something ..

    Old Tom turkeys (the big ones) would obviously be tougher ..

    Phillip the sex organs of fowl like Turkeys are internal so you need to look at other features to tell the sex (it is a bit late once all you have is a boned out breast). You will never see a donger and nutsack on a bird as it would create so much drag the buggers couldn't fly.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Not entirely true my friend. I had the displeasure of seeing one of mums mallard ducks being raped by the drake. Once he was done he fell off and waddled away with a weird corkscrew like apendage dangling down.....They are quite long for a duck I thought?

    Yep, that would be down to his ankles. Something to be proud of. No wonder they suck it up inside.

    Its probably to prevent frost bite from hanging in the breeze as they fly

    Now that would be funny .... seeing a duck bobbing up and down in the water because a fish had him by the dick.
