A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I saw what I thought was a wolf once but it was a coyote for sure it was just shocking.
My girl found what I believe to be her spot she was so happy and when I put the ducks and geese away and tried to close the door she still didn’t hop off lol!

They love those doors and gates

i do understand what you are saying Duluthralphie, but i said its just 1, the pack is made of feral dogs, coyotes, and the cattle dogs that started the pack... its possible it might be something else, but it is huge, if i see it again, i'll try to get pictures of it, but its hard spotting it since it takes off running as soon as a vehicle passes near it, we are thinking it might be the leader of the pack since it is the one leading the attacks on my neighbor's cattle

There are definitely wolf issues in Montana. I wish we could give them back. You can have them.

Nope!! You took them you keep them!
It clearly states “no returns”...

Also it says if you want to make a warranty claim you must return them to the maker. God will be waiting for them I’m sure.

Do you need a prepaid mailer?

Here is the one I have around for returns

I have become fascinated with turkeys. I have read almost half of the thread, but have decided to skip the rest and jump in now. There is a feral turkey problem here, and I have a couple of places where I may be able to obtain a young hen or two. Bronze is the most common, with our feral turkeys apparently being Merriam's turkeys crossed with the occasional escaped domestic turkey. I know there are royal palms in the country, so the likes of sweetgrass turkeys could potentially be bred. Not that I have the space for that kind of adventure right now, unfortunately!

You have some interesting genes in some of your turkeys down there .

I am sure R2elk can elaborate. Has I recall it’s a recessive gene we did not have here until Porters imported it.

The recessive slate gene that you are thinking about is in Australia and was originally imported to Australia from the western U.S.

I have no idea what they have in New Zealand but the Merriams were apparently imported from the U.S.

I understand it is possible for a lone Male to travel that far, anything is possible. As evidenced by @Molpet s post. However, she is not very far from the Wisconsin area....and in my humble opinion the area is larger than they say. I saw one here 2 years ago and I live outside the wolf zone now...

I think they can be shot for trespassing if they leave their area... ask your lawyer before using this defense Incase of accidental wolf shooting.

Also, as I said strange things can happen, but wolves do not really hang out with coyotes, or dogs with coyotes up here.

There is more chance (albeit a slim chance) of seeing a dog in a wolf pack than coyotes Wolves or dogs in one pack.

and with all due respect, as a believer in Occam’s razor, I stick with it was a coyote.

opps mixed him up with his neighbor... sorry. They all look the same from up here.

 

[Bantambird]

Same in Wyoming. I think the best thing to do is to transplant them to Washington D.C.

Or take em to Central Park, since it's folks from areas like that who think we in the sticks need em.

It's all good, but would you prefer me to think of you as Mexican or Canadian?

I'm not sure if we have slate genes here or not. We are quite careful about importing livestock of any description from anywhere, because so many of our native species are already at risk. Therefore, not all genes hop the ditch from Aussie to here.
