Been following your videos since the onset. Am one among the old timers from the late 70's. At 76 years old have done many a hunt and trek through Ohio, the old Northwest Territory. Am always on watch for your great videos. Keep up the good work.

If you make a 4-6 inch split in the center of the turning stick, you can center the turkey on the split and then push a small stick through the turkey and through the split, exiting out the other side. That will keep the turkey in the position you want as you turn it. I cook the bird for a while and then slice off pieces from the surface to eat. It will be raw or less cooked under the slice, so continue to rotate and slice until you get to the bone. Each slice will be hot and smoked and delicious.

I really enjoy your channel. It’s filled with evidence based historical information but more importantly it’s not filled with a bunch of junk filler. Short and straight to the point. I would love to see/hear a long story version. You should write a book/audiobook

Is that a wild turkey? I've eaten wild turkey. The breast was never that white...
@thedeerskindiary Жыл бұрын
It is a domestic free range heritage breed though I don’t know which one. It was the closest I could get in size and breed for a wild turkey. The breast was definitely darker than the one I just ate for Christmas so the camera may have played with coloration. Also the smoke really darkened that skin. I tried to make it as realistic as I could without poaching lol.

Native Anericans are people who are born in Anerica: I think you mean "American Indian." I know Daniel Boone didn't say, "Anerican Indian." Use indigenous Anericans, if you must. Words mean things.
