Need to take care of that problem at one stroke!.
Need advice on which tool to use?

Why you throw that froe in there ?

Man, for such a special occasion, I would choose either the really broad beam-squarin' axe on the right, or the plain square backed hatchet that is closest to the camera.

interesting you should pick that one out, that's my grandma's old ax, used that 55 years ago on first chicken ever personally dispatched.
It just LOOKS like a turkey beheader !!I figured that it might take a little while if you used the pick.. Pick.. Pick.. Pick.. Pick...And if you used that maul and got turned around, you'd pretty much end up with turkey neck jelly.

My picks exactly. I think the hatchet would be best though. I like hatchets. Broad axe might take off an appendage along with toms head.
Use the froe. I'd like to see that.
What? Know battery powered skillsaw? Know Jedi Laser? That'd be cool.
Would a plasma cutter work on turkey neck?
If you could get a good ground, that might be kind of cool. Cauterize as you go, no mess.
Stacy's mom has got it going on.
The 4000 psi pressure washer would work too!
Nice assortment of axes there! There is one hatchet in the forground that dates to before the civil war! Maybe pick that one just for the historical angle?
BTW:
Speaking of turkeys...
I could swear a couple weeks ago, I heard a turkey in the back 40...
They don't quite sound like domesticated turkeys. Kinda, but there's something different.

Foget the ax, I want that sweet tarp they are all sitting on.

Rez,You can get tarps at Costco that are super thick. Silver one side, blue, the other. And size is 12 by 16.Package of two goes for $16.00Take my word for it, they last for 4 years and still going, on a shed roof. And you know the rains and heard about the very high winds around here... Silver side up.

I'm surprised! I would have expected to see this thread in COOKS TALK next door. Hope you enjoy the holiday. Had ours a month ago eh!
No wonder your in a quandry. You don't have the proper tools.
Every good electrician knows what you need is a nice sharp set of these:

No more Toms dodging the axe. No more missing fingers.
I'm partial to the 3/4 hudson's bay. Keep one in thee truck all the time.
I'm curious, is the one in the upper right with butt to a roofer's hatchet or a lather's hatchet?

Excellence is its own reward!
Neither - perspective of scale makes the blade look smaller like a lath hatchet, it is a full framing hatchet, 3-7/8" blade, octagonal head, collins red seal brand. . . cannot pass up any hammer or ax at a garage sale under a buck <G>
Our turkeys come from Texas, this is what we use:

Great idea.Kill, clean, cook and celebrate the US military in one black powder driven action. With a bit of Kentucky windage you could shoot it through the window and onto the serving tray.
my preference would be the hatchet in front but the real answer is...... the sharpest one
nice collection of tools, be kind of fun to do some chopping and see how they "work"
junkhound, from now on you be BT's designated axe murderer. ;)
