Put the bird in a big pot of water, if you have a deep frier use it, but fill it up with water. Bring it to a boil and then turn down the heat and let it soak for a minute. The warm water will open the pores of the birds skin and the feathers will pluck much easier. I myself also usually just cut out the breast and the drubsticks. I love the drumsticks..and the breast. Wild turkey taste much better than store bought.
