  5. Unfortunately the wild ones taste so much better...we have them in the woods and they know they are safe! Great shots.

  12. We've got that parade of 17 turkeys that make their way through the yard about once a week. Pass the cranberry sauce...

  13. I love seeing families of wild turkeys wander through the woods in West Virginia. Don't see them often, though!

  16. Okay, now you've done it! I shot some wild turkeys on a golf course down here a few weeks ago but I don't dare post the pictures because yours are so much better. I'd use yours and say they were mine but I think the snow would give me away! :)

    I think I'm going to eat Chinese on Thursday because I'm thankful for all the work the Chinese did on our railroads back in the 19th century.

  18. Yes, they had better run for their lives! Actually, these are really wild, they would be too scrawny for us. Great pictures of how they look in the wild!
