The last flock of wild turkeys I saw (last Tuesday) had a 24 head count - all biiiig birds. I know where they roost at night... so, early Saturday morning...
Is it still called "hunting" if you already know where they are, and they travel in a neat and orderly line?
Anyway: yesterday at Safeway in Gallup, NM the Safeway brand was .59cents/lb with a card and a $25.00 purchase.
Walmart's "brand" which is not bad was .74 cents/lb.
What are "you" seeing out there re prices.
Oh, and a goose was about $57.00 EACH-that's enought to get your goose cooked
Have a nice day folks.

Mostly about 79 to 89 a lb. One store has a free one if you buy $100 worth of groceries or more, but it is limited to a 12 lb turkey. We are lucky, we got ours at a 1 day sale in Aug. It was at Aldis and we got a Butterball, 20 lb one for .49 lb.
I got a free turkey from Dominicks (Safeway) for spending $150. (I remember getting a free one with $25 or $50 but just do not see that around here.) It was free up to 22 lbs, so I got the biggest they had, which was 18. I like to get two or three extra turkeys. Last year I made a second turkey the day after Thanksgiving so we'd have plenty of leftovers, but I might do what Wlson513 does this year and roast one on Wednesday. That way I can make the gravy beforehand.
Turkey prices in my area (Butterball, Jennie-O, generic only--I don't have the budget for the more gourmet stuff, as much as I'd like to):
Aldi: $1.09 per lb
Jewel: Not listed in this week's ads, but probably around Dominicks' prices
Dominicks: $1.19 to $1.59
Target: $1.09 - $1.29ish
Meijer: Also not listed, but probably around Target/Aldi prices
Angelo Ca****: Not listed, except for a free 14- to 18-lb turkey with the purchase of a ribeye roast ($4.99/lb)
and those free or only a few cents a lb specials were not that many years ago.

We moved here three years ago from California, and I remember getting free ones back there. Free with $25 purchase, or maybe $50. Certainly not the $150 I had to buy to get one here! And that's the only free one I've gotten in this area.
As of yesterday(11-15-2011):
