That was the easy part Reggie, not waking the bird up was the hard part

Congratulations, Randy, and thanks, John, for posting that great picture. That might be the cleanest turkey I’ve ever seen. Randy, did you have him tied up in your yard?

I love seeing a nice Parker having done what it was created to do.

Garry that bird was roosted about 125 yards or so beyond the pool. He wasn't on the ground long enough to get dirty that morning.
