A funny story from Hawaii... We were hunting the Big Island for (Rio Grande) turkeys, pigs, and pheasants (kalij and ringneck) when my wife shot her first turkey. We had been watching them from afar for a long time before we could make it work and get in range.

The turkeys were running out in huge fields with grazing cattle everywhere.

I tried to gift the bird to others in the party and all IMMEDIATELY turned down the offer.

The "Fu Man Chu" around the beak was obvious and the monstrous bettles (many still alive) in the "half-gallon" craw should have made the discovery quicker... But we were told the table quality of turkeys living on dung bettles was not too good... and, due to my hardheadedness, we discovered later they were absolutely correct! I have never tried to eat a nastier bird!

And I have eaten many birds most folks would never consider food...
