Sam got 2 decent gobblers this spring. The wings will be used for arrows. He skins the entire turkey and sells the pelt. Feel free to contact us if you’re interested in a turkey pelt minus the wings.
Wild turkey isn’t easy to cook. It has absolutely zero fat and is easy to make tough and dry. I like to put it in a pressure cooker after marinating it in lime juice, olive oil, and garlic plus salt and pepper. Sometimes I add balsamic vinegar. It really helps to marinate it overnight.
Here’s a video of Sam ice fishing at Horseshoe Lake. The date of the video is March 23, 2010. He catches some rainbow trout and german brown trout.
If your interest lies in ancient Puebloan sites, Kinishba ruins near Ft. Apache are a great place to visit. Kinisba ruins were built by the Mogollon and Anasazi about 800 years ago. The site lies next to a dry creek bed, down a long stretch of dirt road. This road is not well maintained, so a truck is your best bet.
For directions and a map, visit Nohwike’ Bagowa, the White Mountain Apache Culture Center and Museum at Ft. Apache.

Besides etsy, the high country gallery, or making a direct request, you can find Sam’s arrowheads at the Ft. Apache Culture Center. The Culture Center and Museum is located within the Historic Fort Apache.
While you’re there, you can take a self guided walking tour of the Fort.
Kinishba Ruins are a short drive down the road. The Kinishba ruins are the remains of an ancient puebloan society similar to Chaco Canyon.
