The Annual Roast Turkey Hunt

The people of Amity Park had resorted to all sorts of Guerilla warfare and improvised weaponry while fighting off the GIW.

One of the most effective tactics was unleashing the Fentons' cooking on unsuspecting patrols. As the Siege continued and more people became directly involved in the fighting, more cooks joined their crusade.

Which is how, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Pamela Manson "accidentally" unleased 5 roasted turkeys on some of the GIW high command after they forced her to quarter them in the mansion. This proved to be a critical distraction that allowed the commanders to be captured without casualties.

After the battle was over, Pamela confessed that she had intended to send the turkeys to the Casper refuge before the GIW turned her home into their new base and apologized for wasting so much food as weaponry.

Her daughter, Sam, told her not to worry. Ectoplasm was a marvelous preservative and the turkeys would be perfectly edible once they had been slaughtered a second time.

The turkeys were transported to Casper High and on Thanksgiving Day group of 30 volunteers fought them to a second death and carved the remains up for the rest of the refugees. (Some sources say that Pamela participated in the carving and actually tore a wing off the largest bird with her teeth).

This was one of the greatest victories of the Siege and a moment of light-hearted fun in a dark time.

To commemorate this event, the City Council made the Roasted Turkey Hunt into a city holiday (Vlad tried to veto on account of cleanup costs, but was outvoted)

Every year the people of Amity Park gather to present their turkeys for reanimation and hunters fight them to a second death and serve the remains to the audience. There are contests for the largest bird, the best presented bird, the tastiest bird, and the most aggressive bird as well as a prize for who can collect the most wishbones.

Recent years also allow "flocks" of game birds such as pheasants and Cornish hens to be submitted.

Turkey tail mushrooms have been used to treat various maladies for hundreds of years in Asia, Europe, and by indigenous peoples in North America. Records of turkey tail brewed as medicinal tea date from the early 15th century, during the Ming Dynasty in China. ☀️

A feast for the senses

No smoked turkey breasts yet. but I shot (photographically speaking) these two jakes (young males) from my blind on a recent morning. They're legal game but I decided to let them grow up.

So far my timing seems to be a little off; when the big toms are out there, I'm not; when I'm out there, they're not. That's the general lament of hunters and anglers: We shoulda been there yesterday.

But spring is a good time of year for forest baths. The bugs are still asleep for the most part, while everything else is hyper-alive. The green is greener than ever, the aromas are therapeutic and dawn is a symphony of birdsong.
