    Outstanding.  Did you brine or inject it?

    @Foghorn 24 hour brine. I haven't had the best of luck injecting birds.

    Looks like it worked out well.  I've actually never tried injecting a bird - but I do brine any free range birds I cook as it seems to really help.  Two years ago some friends did a free range turkey without brining for Thanksgiving... and overcooked it... and they have now sworn off of them even though the year before I cooked them a brined one... and didn't overcook it... and they said it was the best turkey ever...

    Beautiful!! What seasonings did you use?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Occasionally we have two or three dozen parading through the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we can't fire a shotgun within 500 feet of a home. Thinking of a crossbow though. Lot's of meat on the hoof so to speak. Free range at that!

    That looks awesome.  I haven't seen that many turkeys the past three years combined,  much less all together.

    With the title I was looking for the bourbon connection ;)  Great book right there.
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    @Carolina Q fresh rosemary, thyme, sage salt and pepper. I like to rub the bird with  white wine before adding the herbs

    That's a nice little winter flock you have!  Fun birds to watch, even more fun to hunt, especially in Spring.


    looks like a very nice cook, well played.

    Nice lookin' superchicken. 

    I've gotten close with a bow, just not close enough.  Will keep hammerin' though.
