It’s wild turkey breeding time here in N. Idaho. They’re gobbling non-stop during the day. My Great Pyrenees cross won’t let them hang around the yard though.

They are all over here on the San Francisco Peninsula and the entire Bay Area. Populations have exploded in the past few years. The toms are wearing their breeding colors on now and are strutting their stuff.

It’s wild turkey breeding time here in N. Idaho.

Pretty much everywhere there are turkeys it is breeding time.

I use my tractor to mow other peoples pasture land, 100s of acres per job. You really have to watch for the turkey nests right now so that you can give them a wide birth. Mow to close and hen will leave the nest not to return. If I happen to run over one, I will gather the eggs and take to incubator at house and try to finish hatching them. The young are hard to raise once hatched. Really susceptible to lung sicknesses (pneumonia). But I love turning them loose into my own pasture once they are jake size

Will your Great Pyrenees cross attack and/or eat them?

I ask because I too have a Great Pyrenees cross and he never met a prey animal he didn’t instantly seek to protect!

He loves our cats, who hate him. When the baby is outside he just hangs out by her all day, adoring her.
