Wacka Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 You'd love my neighborhood. We have about a dozen this size wandering around, sleeping in trees and jumping up on parked cars.

IDBillzFan Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Those are great photos, but you may want to rethink posting that first photo because I'm not quite sure what you're doing with your left arm. Sorry, man. Couldn't help it.

IDBillzFan Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 LOL! I'll never tell.... just holding the feathers open 669133[/snapback] Some courts refer to that as aiding and abetting.
Kevbeau Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Had a big one pop out of some tall grass yesterday while horseback riding. My horse is a trained field horse, so he just stared at the thing, but it scared the other horses pretty good. Had a couple horses take off running one way (with riders) and the turkey did his best imitation of the road runner going the other way. Funny as hell. I see them quite a bit, but most people we take out riding have never seen a wild turkey and are amazed at how big they can get.
JoeF Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 LOL! I'll never tell.... just holding the feathers open 669133[/snapback] Great photos! Congrats to you and your son. Were you trying to make Turkey Jerky???
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Reminds me of my favorite Christmas dinner prayer: "Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human-like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family..." <sigh>...I miss Bloom County...
Fan in San Diego Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Do these turkeys taste better than a Butterball from the supermarket ?

Nice bird. I'm assuming that is his first. I also have heard that there aren't any ring-necks around anymore.
The Tomcat Posted April 25, 2006 Author Posted April 25, 2006 Do these turkeys taste better than a Butterball from the supermarket ? 669209[/snapback] They can...although wild turkey can be a little gamey if you don't cook it right. Its more than that, its the preperation, the adrenaline rush when you call in a gobbling turkey, Its being in the woods before sunrise and watching it come alive. Its being with your son and experiencing new things together.....I could go on but I'll get off my soapbox

My heart still kicks it up a couple notches right before I pull the trigger on anything. Especially when there's a deer in the crosshairs. -Jeff
