The meat from their breast is eaten.

If you adhere to these guidelines, hunting wild turkeys can be safe. Wear long pants with closed-toe shoes. Do not wear perfume or cologne because it attracts predators. If you see a predator, do not run away. Instead, walk slowly toward your vehicle. Stay calm and quiet when you approach a bird. It may take several attempts to get close enough to the bird to allow you to capture it. When you shoot at a wild turkey, use a shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot.
