We had a turkey one year that my grandpop shot. Mom got buckshot in her piece, and that was the end of that.
I've sure seen more wild turkeys in the last two years than ever before..... And I don't get out in the wilds as much either.
In fact, I saw one just a couple of blocks up the street about a week ago..... NEVER seen one 'in town' before.
And deer.... They are taking over. Literally thousands in town.. Eight have taken up residence in my back yard and the vacant lot next door.
Guess they are expecting a wicked winter to hang around town so much.
