Can you do with with Turkeys? How much of the head do you keep/ how do you keep the beard if you're so interested?
I was thinking I could cut skin around the beard and keep it that way, but wonder about other ideas?

Please share what you do as I'll be putting it in a cooler and floating some more if we find some.
Thanks in advance,
Jon


I use the same Gerber Gator knife I use for field dressing a deer for my Spring Turkey kinda like this:
