Smoked wild turkey

[2010ultra]

Hey guys i have never smoked a turkey let alone a wild one. i shot this brute last night and was wondering if anybody else has tried a wild turkey. my main question is should i brine and inject a wild turkey or just brine.

If you have the time you can brine your bird - I don't find it necessary to inject... They are really good smoked! I'll dig out a thread for you on one I did recently...
