This hack is so easy, you'll wonder - "Why Haven't I Been Doing This?"
Almost every time you're in the grocery nearing the checkout, you've been there... you have to walk by the delish smelling fresh rotisserie chickens. YUM! Well now think about this... There are sales regularly on these too and now you're going to stock up!
Hack: Buy Rotisserie Chickens to FREEZE for later!
You read that right! I buy a few these at a time, especially if there's a sale. Nothing is done with them other than put in the freezer. When I am needing meals that can sit all day to be enjoyed as my family comes and goes... I thawed out one of those chickens. I especially like the ones in a plastic container as when thawing they make No Mess!!
UPDATE ON THAT GEORGIA TURKEY HUNTING STORYUpdate on a story that stirred up hunters across the country.
Back in April, a Georgia teen shot what he believed was a wild turkey on his family’s 11-acre property. He posted a proud photo online—his very first turkey. But the situation turned upside down when a neighbor, who also happened to be his former teacher, claimed the bird was actually her pet domestic turkey.
A Georgia DNR officer investigated and confirmed the hunt happened legally on the teen’s own land. No baiting, no violations, nothing illegal. But even after the DNR declined to file charges, the sheriff’s office did—charging the teen with felony animal cruelty. That charge led to a school suspension and forced him to move out of state while he waited for his court date.
The family said he had no way of knowing the turkey belonged to anyone. It had no tags or markers, and the domestic breed he shot looked similar enough to a wild turkey that a young hunter could easily mistake it.
The case sparked a lot of debate in the small town of Waverly Hall and across the hunting community. Many felt the situation had gone way too far.
And now the update:In November, a Harris County juvenile court judge found the teen NOT GUILTY, bringing an end to a six-month legal battle. The judge ruled he did not commit the felony he was accused of.
So what started as a proud first hunt became a national story—but now, at last, the teen has been cleared.

A serial poacher picked a prison yard as his hunting ground — and ended up facing justice himself…
A Tennessee man has been busted for poaching trophy deer in one of the strangest places imaginable — the West Tennessee State Penitentiary.
Fifty-three-year-old Terry Sellers pleaded guilty to multiple wildlife violations after a state investigation found he illegally killed three massive whitetail bucks on prison property in Lauderdale County. The deer had a combined gross score of more than 490 inches.
Wildlife officers say the case broke when reports surfaced about a huge 15-point double drop-tine buck known to roam near the penitentiary. Investigators used smartphone location data to link Sellers to the kills.
A judge ordered Sellers to pay $17,500 in restitution, $850 for taxidermy costs, and suspended his hunting privileges for six years. The mounted deer heads will be used in educational displays by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
