Just saw a turkey in my neighborhood for the first time ever. It flew up onto my neighbors’ roof

Another specialized trap coating to minimize human scent. Will not work unless it’s spanish moss.

What kinda crazy roof surfing turkeys do you have up there?

Lol. Some guys paint them white. I think I have some white primer. I’ll look in a bit and paint one white just to see. I’ll have to go to the store for pink. I don’t keep that in stock.

Don’t know really. This is the first wild turkey I ever saw in my town.

There’s turkeys everywhere around here except when I’m hunting. They dust in the yard where the dog digs holes.

Do armadillos cause many issues? I don’t have them here. Seen plenty of them running across roads in Florida and Georgia. I’m not sure whether possums or armadillos take the top prize for getting smashed in the road. It’s gotta be close.

Ya, what Ozark said. Mainly. They are just hard on the landscape. I don't *think* they would bother the birds other than they scare the hello out of them. They are just more a nuisance than anything and they are said to carry leprosy, I don't know if that is true but I sure don't wanna find out. . or have my dogs get scratched or bitten.

I didn’t even know rattling snakes came in that flavor...

It being Memorial Day... it seems right to share this pic of my dad... he was a good man and a proud veteran...and apparently a killer of big snakes...

This is from a newspaper clipping of him in his youth with a 56” rattlesnake he killed when rabbit hunting ... his buddy stepped over it right in front of him...

I like the way something like this made the newspaper back then... and apparently that was something to get your spiffy duds on for too... because those don’t look like wabbut hunting cloths to me..... lol
