[stumblingjoe]

I found a nail in a gizzard back in the 90's.

I thought this was pretty cool. I saved the ones out of the bird my daughter killed this morning.

So I’m a huge fan of Fred Eichler(everything Eichler guy)…. I think that’s his name. Anywho he showed us (on TV)how to get the stones out of a Turkey gizzard. A lot of folks save them as trophies. Seeing them in a glass tube like display was really neatIMHO. Maybe we can have stone count contest in the Turkey challenge too!
IF you save them, show em off! I’d love to see them! I most certainly plan to save mine when I get a bird!

Well I wouldn’t hold my breath that this bottle will get full , but I saw this and thought it was really cool ….So I found an ol bottle that came out of Shipyard creek in Chatham county

He decided to sleep in this morning ( I decided I’d never “ make “ him go ) He was happy but a little salty that he wasn’t there

Looks like wheat seeds

Nice! Newfound treasure! Not sure why Barley came to mind on those seeds. Dunno

When I was putting my Turkey stones in the little jars, I found one kind of strange…almost like a bone? My first bird was a little bigger and had more stones then the second and this one ……any ideas?

I’d guess a little bead , Indian artifact ?

 

[Gaswamp]

interesting but not enough to make me want to save them

 

[Jason C]

I cant even get a bird lol

 

[WOODIE13]

I've never saved them, do check the crawls to see what they eat. This year it was dandelions, clover, grasshoppers and tadpoles

I wondered if they’d eat them tadpoles! Looked like some great eating for a turkey bird!
