Six tag soup
Oh well, six turkey tags I get to eat this year. Two from New Mexico and four from Texas. It wasn't for lack of effort. I did a lot of traveling this year and spent more time in the woods during spring season than ever before. I never got agobbler in range and only saw 3 male birds all season. The closest place I hunted was a 3 hour drive. With todays gas prices and my wifes recent illnessI didn't do any preseason scouting and it really showed. All the places I hunted were new to me this year. Next year I will be more familiar with the land and hopefully will have a chance to scout. I still enjoyed myself and thats what really matters. Now let me check Texas Parks and Wildlife website, when does deer season start?

RE: Six tag soup
You cook them tags just right, they don't taste to bad. They aren't nearly as good as deep fried turkey breast buy hey......
Sounds like you had a tough season bud. I'm ready for deer season myself. I have visions of antlers dancing in my head.

Don't worry I did the same thing this year for deer. 3 tags for bow, 3 tags for gun - struck out on both seasons.
Add a little fennel and they get a bit of an Italian flavor - they are pretty eatable like this

It happens to the best of us....I am in West Texas, and the birds weren't near as good this year as what I have seen in the past. It seemed that every weekend, the wind was constantly blowing hard and never let up.
