Cary, is there something physically different between wild born and recently released birds or did you know it was a wild bird from the way it acted?






Skip, this hunt was on private property, so I know it was a wild bird.  The only released birds will be at put and take or reserve properties.

I did my share of put and take hunting this year...got plenty of birds to jerky

One interesting note about cleaning put and take vs. wild birds.  Pen raised birds have much more fat in them...wild birds are lean and mean.
