Last night I wired my legs and attached them to the form. It got late so I decided to inject today.
My experience with injecting turkey legs goes as follows.
Draw fluid and mix. Inject toe and squeeze as hard as I can until a little goes in. Pull needle out and watch the fluid squirt out before I can put a pin in the hole. Inject numerous times with same out come and watch my feet shrink as they dry.
Last night I re-watched the injection process from the turkey course on Taxidermy Insider and viola! Eureka and yee- haw! I discovered that I was using the wrong syringe.
I used the proper syringe that Aaron suggested in the video and had a very pleasant injecting experience. (I never thought I’d ever say that.)
That right there was worth the cost of the course.
Wrong syringe? I always thought that a syringe is a syringe is a syringe! Sure, different size needles and liquid capacity.
I always figured if I ever got a turkey I would get the course but in the mean time (if it isn’t any violation of the rules of the course) could you enlighten us as to exactly what syringe you were using and what the correct one is? You have my curiosity up in a big way on this one.

Actually, it was the needle and syringe size that was the problem. The syringe and needle that I was using was way too big.

I thought that going larger, after all a turkey is larger than a grouse and quail, would be better. I never got the info on syringes when the instructors in my turkey DVD’s went into the injection part. Aaron doesn’t leave anything out, that’s for sure.

Thanks for the information guys. I never would have thought of using a diabetic size syringe. Definitely something to store in the back of my mind.
