There’s probably a good reason why the Pilgrims had turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.

No doubt they’d grown weary of having their kiddie pools pecked into deflation...

I wanna know why they're only harassing the elderly? Am I not good enough to harass? Why do the over-55 community have kiddie pools anyway?

Sounds like the Wild Turkey have been into the Wild Turkey.

The easiest solution is to eat the wild Turkeys like folks did during the depression (hunted as a source of food).

In Massachusetts they became extinct in most of the state except on the western border and it wasn't until 2000 that their numbers had increased and they finally made it back all thru the state and to the coast. Took about 70 years.

They have kiddie pools for when the grandkids come to visit!! I thought that would be obvious.

And I suspect the turkeys are getting even, now that they have found out the real reason why Cousin Gobbler has been missing since late November!!!

IN Montana they go right for the headlights,the engine hood, and finish with the windshield. Forget getting a turkey by the pound the one that got us was at a cost of $1500.00

Just a few miles up the road from us, and a surprisingly good place to visit:

National Wild Turkey Foundation

I see more turkeys than skunk here in New England. Most of them are hanging around populated areas or roadways.....but I have yet to see one as road kill. They may be smarter than we think.

We have twenty four (24) wild turkeys in our community; you can have them all. They can fly and they loved to fly into tall trees to sleep at night. You can have them all and maybe, you can train them to be emotional support animals. Please I am only joking. Please do not start another thread on the pros and cons of emotional support animals. LoL.
