Why, I wonder, are turkeys hunted in the spring, breeding season??? I don’t think any other animals are so it doesn’t make sense to me. We enjoyed seeing a few of the beautiful big toms earlier in the spring with their glorious tails and blue and red thingies. Anyway, thoughts and prayers for FG’s recovery to speeeeeeed up.

In fact, I've chased off several into the woods the last couple times I went out mushroom hunting. Despite this, I prefer shooting them with a camera because wild turkey just isn't as tasty as domesticated turkey, something I probably wouldn't say for any other species of animal or food source.
