we’ve had about thirty of them at a time wondering across our front yard.
I have a gun.
This is not a problem.
There is an established turkey family that crosses my Mom’s yard every day. There is also a shotgun behind her bedroom door.
Unfortunately the city limits went gerrymander & Mom’s house is now no longer in the country. I think the turkeys know this, just like the deer she sees every day from the kitchen window.
FWIW turkey hunters tell me that only the white meat is edible.
