Great shots. Dave, are you putting corn out? We have the turkeys all over the stae, I even see some in the field next to where I live. I was hoping to see them in my yard during the winter, but they haven't made it yet. :)

Thanks Mitch. We don't expressly feed the turkeys, however we toss a lot of fruit and vegetables in the backyard just before the stuff goes bad. I'm sure the turkeys get their fill, but you wouldn't believe the size of the groundhogs...

I might, groundhogs get huge around, just living off stuff in the park. :)

I had a bad coon problem here until I got a live trap and was able to catch all of them. They now live way up on the bluffs far away from people. :)

Nice captures... Had a bunch of wild turkeys around a few years ago, wife recorded 24 in my neighbors yard... Haven't seen them since... Reports of a coyote may have been around and may have chased them away...
