I've heard about before but I found an article on it the other day and thought it was pretty neat http://virginiahuntingblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/turkey-jewels.html?m=1This is the little pile of rocks I got from a 2 year old gobbler the other day.  It only takes about 2 minutes to get them. Just grab the gizzard out and cut it open and swish it around in a mixing bowl a few times. So far two turkeys has filled up the bottom of a quart Mason jar. I hope I get to kill a couple of older birds that stay around the creek a lot and get some pretty polished creek rocks out of them.

I have never heard of this however that is pretty cool. You just need an old mason jar to put it in.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Heck, why not. I sometimes cut them open to see what is in there and check the rocks out.

That better than having to add a sinker weight to a fish to tip the scales. Just throw in a couple of rocks. In all my years of turkey hunting I have just learned something new. Never get to old to be educated.

You taught me something; never even thought of getting the rocks out of his gizzard. I'll try it if I ever kill another one. It's possible that only Jackson CO turkeys eat rocks. 
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

That's a great idea Brent. I'm going to start doing that.
