"Are turkeys suspicious by nature?" Topic

did the Russians unfriend them as well ???

HA! No they are smart.

I live in the northwest corner of New Jersey. We are lousy with wild turkeys all around us. They and their gaggles of chicks walk right out in front of you in the middle of the road. No one hits them- we're all afraid of the $1,000 USD plus body work if we do!

However while they seem everywhere, in small game season when they can be hunted, they completely disappear. I know guys who have gone hunting for a decade and haven't gotten one! All you hear in hunting season is a gobble, gobble, gobble way off in the woods (across the boundry in the tsate park which is Turkey for "S**w you A**hole."

P.S. They tip off the deer too!

I don't have turkey on thanksgiving. I have my 'Marchin through Georgia Ham." It's a lot easier to bag in the butcher store.

There are some turkeys in a pen at a nearby park and we were surprised by their relative sociability. While maintaining a good grip on the leash, our dogs have had several beak-to-snout sniffs and greetings with the fence between them. The turkeys seemed curious and Annie and Trigger were definitely intrigued by those big colorful birds.

Domestic turkey are done as dirt

In sharp contrast wild turkeys (of which we are butt-deep for some reason) are smart as all get go – plus not especially well mannered
