Now I am no expert but those don't look like goats to me

hybrids.

Do those goats taste like chicken?

Thanksgiving is right around the corner...

Load up the punt gun!

I have visions of'em with bics and gravey...oh yeah...that's the ticket.

Scuba I agree, but if they are I agree with the others his fence isn’t tall enough...

On another note I know what we would be eating for supper

I need to get me some turkey feeders too.

Get the smoker ready. Brine for a week in salt and brown sugar, smoke it at 225 with Cherry until internal temp of 170. I personally just pop out the breast and thighs/drummies, quick to clean and taste excellent, makes the best soup you've ever had.

We're overrun with them here - except on opening day.

We just save the breast. The rest of the bird demonstrates the difference between a bird raised for meat and one that works for a living.

Nice picture Bruce .... It really puzzles me how turkeys can survive harsh winters like Maine and ny .... I know they eat emerging buds but man short legs and deep snow don't mix ! Really would be interested to know what their winter diet consists of ?

Yep

They bud up in the trees like a big partridge(grouse)

They taunt me at my house too - one of these days there’s going to be an incident.

I have seen this as well but buds don't usually pop here until February...not sure how they get thru December and January ...

Great pics gentlemen!!
I had 3 in my hay field this morning but never seen a flock of them in the numbers you guys have posted!!

a lot of Ontario turkeys , go to the cattle feedlots , and pit siloes when the snow gets deep. old243

They have no problems making It through WI winters.
