Spring birds I'll skin them out, save the breast meat and the legs, wings I keep to make trumpet calls if they aren't broken.

 

Fall birds I'll cut the wings off, then pluck the rest of the bird. I never thought to bring them somewhere to get plucked, might be worth looking into.

I cut the breasts out which are baked.  The legs and thighs go in the crock pot.  Has anyone ever oven baked a whole wild turkey?  I am wondering how the legs and thighs turn out?
