Re: how do you make a pattern on a turkey??
With hams, you slightly score thru the fat and skin with a sharp knife but I'm not sure you'd want to do that with a turkey.
Maybe some sort of netting tied tight instead of trussing the bird?

If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

I have to agree with Gizmo. They look like netting marks

Smoked turkey treads? Could be the next hot wing. 
You could have all-weather treads, off-road treads......
