#honesteading Best part of living on a farm is these tasty thing running through your yard This way at 8:00 at night right after doing my nighttime farm chores of putting turkeys in their cage & gathering eggs. Was whistling at the back door for dogs to follow me in. This is the other side of the house. My photo cropped, there’s 4 bucks https://image.nostr.build/e929053d2fbef2f2de5ad0d5e1fb2b438359a72d1f71a20d4218b55f29722ba6.jpg
They do look tasty, don't they?
I don’t know, gonna need to try one to be sure
My long term dream has been to have deer close enough to the house to take them nearly silently with a bow or crossbow in harvest season. My grandparents used to live in a rental place in the woods and my grandfather would hunt out of the sliding door for their bedroom. Then it was a simple downhill drag (less than 500 ft) to his work van and off to the butcher shop. Pretty sweet setup.
Nice!
I can’t wait until deer season!
Do you eat turkey eggs?
I buy turkeys in the spring & harvest in the fall, I don’t keep a flock around. That said I had one hen who put out 3-4 eggs in that time period years ago & I most certainly ate those
Interesting… Do you remember how big they were? Like larger than a goose egg?
I’ve never had geese so can’t make that comparison. They were about 2x the size of a chicken egg, but this was an immature female so I don’t know if that would hold true for her next year cycle
Ok thank you… Interesting so it’s somewhere between a duck egg & goose egg then… I wonder where I can get turkey eggs?
If you want to incubate them you can get at a hatchery, to eat look on next door, Craig’s list, local farmers markets. That’s your best bet
