Those are some cool pictures.

Turkeys are fun to watch. We used to have a pretty big flock that would hang around our office buildings. Haven't seen them yet this year. I hope they come back.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Nice picts... Thanks for posting them...

I have the same situation over here... Turkeys wondering all over, even into my back yard...



Even thoughi don't put food out for them, they like to come by here and do "there thing" quite often.. Many times roosting in the tree's here by the house.



I don't hunt turkeys much, because it gripes my @$$that theycharge so muchfor a tag for what you end up with, even though they are pretty easy to harvest... I find itpretty hard to get too excited about turkey hunting...

yea, the turkeys only get fed on sunday and mondays when my father isnt working.

the rest of the week they show up and hang out with the chickens and just strut around.

Man you're killing me hear... Now those are some WILD turkeys you have thereThey should really be challenging to hunt;);)

Are those domestic birds, just wondering because it looks like you have a pretty tall net that is made for keeping birds where you want them. I can get birds to gobble off my back porch but they know better than to come to my yard:eek:

RE: turkeys in the backyard
 

There's birds and deer in my fields every day here on my place... I don't fence anything in or out...

that net is for my brother to pitch and hit into. he is a high school pitcher. its not a cage or anything. its just a 12' by 12' piece of netting from a batting cage that never got set up.

they're wild turkeys though.
