Yeah, I once saw a big beautiful bird. Raised my rifle... Safety off... Then realized I would have scared the shit out of everybody in frozen foods. | |||

They hang out on my patio. Fun fact: Ben Franklin lobbied for the Turkey to be our nation bird. Kinda ugly for a prominent national role! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

They are thick around here too. I have a picture somewhere of my Golden laying in the yard amongst a flock of them. I don't mind them being around. They keep the tick population down. And, every once in awhile, I get to grill up a breast. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States.

Sadly, by the time I buy a hunting license, Turkey tag, and a box of 12ga turkey loads I could buy like 5 of those at the supermarket when they go on sale around Thanksgiving. Plus I'd have to find somebody willing to let me hunt their property, or win a lottery spot at the local FWA. It's just not worth it to hunt anymore. Fishing licenses are killing me, too... especially non-resident ones. ----------------------------------------------------------- Any comments made by this poster are my own and do not reflect the views or opinions of my employer. | |||

I have yard turkeys here also, give them cracked corn at times. The last two springs I let a guy bow hunt, he got a Tom each time. Yes, they are semi-tame. I went turkey hunting years ago, all good. Yeah, I like eating the store bought better. | |||

These are semi-tame as well. Won't be petting them any time soon, but I can walk by within 5 feet without starting a panic. The other day they followed me all the way down to the compost bins and back (about 200 yards round trip) waiting on me to throw some scratch grain out for them. The only way I like turkey is deep fried and that's just silly for two people, neither of which is particularly fond of the meat. Be careful when following the masses.

You've got to hit them straight on. I once stuck one broadside. Broadhead sticking out one side and fletching hanging out the other. The dang thing stood up, smirked at me, and flew off. They are some tough birds. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States.

A guy I worked with has done the NWTF Grand Slam twice (as of 2001) I imagine he's done it more frequently. He was single, so between work and hunting he was happy. Any dog can be a Guide Dog if you don't care where you're going. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

I went to get his quote about the Bald Eagle. Then learned it’s a myth. “ The story about Benjamin Franklin wanting the National Bird to be a turkey is just a myth. This false story began due to a letter Franklin wrote to his daughter criticizing the original eagle design for the Great Seal, saying that it looked more like a turkey. In the letter, Franklin wrote that the “Bald Eagle...is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself.” About the turkey, Franklin wrote that in comparison to the bald eagle, the turkey is “a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America...He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage.” “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

. Turkey hunting? Bah! There’s a radio station that drops turkeys out of a helicopter. Free. All you have to do is grab one. As God is my witness, I though turkeys could fly. | |||
