Guess they had to run up North to save themselves from my dad and hubby. They just got back from their yearly turkey hunt in South Louisiana. We have them here, too. I can hear them gobbling in the morning and see them in a field close by. I love them, especially in a sausage gumbo!!!!!!!!!!!

Wild turkeys are too cool. I've seen them here a few times. We had some in the field behind us until the neighbor tore out most of the foliage.

Ours like to eat the leftover bird food that gets dropped. I hear them every morning when I let the dog out but havn't fed the birds for fear of the bear snooping around. Ahhh wildlife! I love watching them when the Toms puff all up. So handsome.

We get wild turkey on our property and out in the field almost alot....but during turkey season...it's fried turkey time

I LOVE wild turkey and deer...that is what we mainly live off of.

My husband lives with a turkey call in his mouth! LOL You can ask him a question and he will turn, look at you, and yelp! He is a hunter thru and thru.

The puffing of the gobblers feathers is called a 'full strut'.
