My employer gives us a 12-14 pounder.

we have a big flock of wild ones but we prefer to let them stay on bug patrol and use the ones we raise for the dinner table

Hi...
The grocery store chain we patronize typically gives away turkeys of their store brand or discounts for other suppliers turkeys for customers on their membership list if you accumulate enough points by buying enough groceries over a certain period of time.
Before I retired, my employer gave away turkeys for years but stopped that practice in favor of gift cards. I was surprised to receive a gift card in the mail from my former employer last week as a token of their appreciation for years of service to retirees.
Essentially, I don't believe we have paid for a Thanksgiving turkey in many years, possibly ever.
I don't recall any previous employer that didn't give out turkeys at Thanksgiving.
I was only able to take one bird, Thanksgiving of 1996.
About 18 months before I got busted up.
Was sure different then a Domestic Turkey.
Supermarkets around here used to give away free frozen Turkey's. Either spend enough money or buy one, get another free.
But that stopped at least 3-4 years ago.

I'll buy and eat a store bought turkey any day over wild one .yeah I've killed and ate them many times never taste as good or as moist as a farm raised bird .
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
I prefer to eat wild turkeys but I don't always get a chance to kill one before Thanksgiving. So, we had domestic turkey today.

Can't get wild turkey here either so it's store bought turkey and ham.

My wife has about 50 free range chickens. The wild turkeys show up around the first week of Nov. They winter over in our second pasture close by the chicken food. She likes wild turkey and picks one out each year. I like ham. Lots of leftovers as we cook each
I much prefer wild turkey. Lay bacon across the breast when you roast it, comes out nice and moist.
I've not shot one yet this season, we have until Jan. 1. I hadn't wanted to disturb the deer until I got one. I did shoot a doe this morning so now the turkeys are in danger.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
I shot my first turkey yesterday. Scared the heck out of the folks in the frozen food section GW

I'll let you know after I get back from the field.
Way to cheap to buy a farm raised turkey anymore. Visited our Costco today and they were selling fresh birds that ranged from 19-24 pounds for .99 a pound with a $15 rebate. We bought two 19 pounders for under $5 each. Now we are set for at least another 6 months. I seen some shoppers leaving with entire carts full of birds.

I bought my last bunch of groceries on my gf's grocery card so she got a free turkey. Really nice meal.
